Ok so I know Sam was a December Bub but he was due Jan 26 so that gives me grounds to stay in this group, hopefully no-one has any objections to that.

Ren - yay you're home - excellent news. I had exact same problem with my left nipple and I expressed about 6 or so times in hossie and just those times I did it have had no nipple troubles since. It was super sensitive for the first few minutes of each feed for a couple of weeks but now it's just as tough as the right hand side one. Ava has had an excellent weight gain since her first initial loss. Sam lost around 10% of his birth weight but gained it again fairly quickly too. Can't wait to look at your pics - she looked just gorgeous going by the pic you sms'd me.

Mel & Dis - Hi, glad to hear things are going well with your bubs.

Am sure the rest of our friends will join us in here soon.
