General question - I used to have a "quick reply" option at the bottom of each thread and now dont have that option and have to press "reply to thread" which takes me to a new screen. Has everyone elses set up changed or just mine ???

Kirsten - big congratulations to you and DH on the arrival of Benjamin David (another lovely name).

Hi to everyone else. Can't believe how little time there is to get on line. I used to be on here all the time. Doesn't help that our computer pooped itself and we are currently using an old one which is soooooooo slow !

How many of us are using dummies. i fully intend on using one (I had one until I was 5 and started school andMum made me give it up !!) but not too sure if I should introduce it at this stage. Are we supposed to wait 6 weeks especially if exclusively breastfeeeding.

Another question - for those who haven't got supply problems with breastfeeding are any of you expressing and storing milk for the occasional bottle feed. I have no idea when best time to express is and when to introduce a bottle. Some say don't introduce too early but others say don't leave too late as they may never take bottle.

God its just so confusing !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Went to ultrasound place yesterday for a scan on the lump in my breast. They put a needle in there to send some cells off to pathology but Dr doesn't think a problem - more than likely a cyst/abcess as contained pus (sorry TMI !). Will find out on thursday. In the meantime taking antibiotics. So all that rubbing and massaging probably wasn't the best thing for it seing as it wasn't a blocked duct.

With the help of my mum we are going to brave the shops after DS next feed. Wish me luck. Can't wait to able to drive again. Should be able to by this time next week !

Hope you are all coping as best you can and life is getting a little easier. Sorry for long post.
