,Bon You may be able to get some Home Help for a short period of time through your local Carer Support Program. Basically, if you have some sort of illness or you've had an operation or something they can fund Home Help by saying that your DH is caring for you and it eases his stress as your carer by funding Home Help. I managed to get funding for 6 weeks of Home Help through that program, as DH has depression and because I had the Cesar, they classed me as his carer and it meant I was eligible for Home Help. My MCHN referred me to the program after speaking to the local council, so I would go back to your MCHN if you think you can wangle something.
BTW - thanks for the link to the thread about increasing your milk supply, I'll check it out.

Owen was very unsettled all day again yesterday, ended up going for a long walk in the pram which quietened him down for a while. The upside was that he slept fairly well overnight, waking at 2am for a feed and then going down again quickly. Gotta go , he's crying.
