Jen, that's disgusting. All the hospital's are like that now though. I think they should let women stay AT LEAST until their milk comes in and they have bf sorted. For example, Billy wasn't getting any milk from me and how am I meant to know? It's not like I have see through boobs! Sure, they sent a nurse around but what happens in the middle of the night when you have NFI what you're doing? I reckon it's SO bad.

Apparently country hospitals are MUCH better, as Jess said. My friends from work couldn't believe I was kicked out when I was. Actually, the girl in the room with me at the hospy was having HUGE feeding issues and had to beg to stay an extra night. This dr was there and saying "well, you can stay just ONE MORE NIGHT but you MUST BE OUT AT 10am!" Might I add that she sat there until 2pm waiting for someone to check her out before she could leave! No wonder women suffer post natal depression and have psychotic episodes and can't cope! It's a joke!

Now, the Mercy actually sent a "Mercy at Home" nurse to see me the day after I came home, which was good. I'm wondering if yours is taking longer because you are further from the hospital? You should call them. F*ck it. They are there to help you. That's absolutely insane.

I have had so many opinions on sleeping babies; wake them, don't wake them etc. I had to wake Billy to feed him because he was losing weight but my friend says otherwise, let them sleep. That's why you need them to come out and weigh Amber and make sure she's getting enough food and not losing weight. I know Billy got sleepy when he wasn't getting enough food. I'm no expert though.

Now I'm really f*cking angry with your hospital for leaving you to cope alone like that. What a joke. I'd definitely call them or I'll go in there and cause some trouble!

Jess, Billy will cry as soon as I sit at the computer, go to the toilet etc. It's like he knows! At least you got your hair washed. My Mum wants to know if someone is getting meals for you - she's worried!

Made my thank you card things. Well, have all the bits, just gotta stick them together now. I printed out this photo I took yesterday while I was feeding Billy - of our hands. We have the same, long fingers. I'm hoping he'll play the guitar!

Billy and Mummy's hands...

Hmmm... need food!
