OH my god. Amy is six months old today. I can't believe it!

Maz - I know what you mean. I was thinking exactly the same thing. Amy does that when I'm having a conversation with somebody too. It's just the cutest thing. I have to keep reminding myself not to worry about what Amy is or isn't doing. It's hard not to though when all babies around you are doing things that your bub isn't. But you can't do anything about it! So not worth worrying about.

About the breast feeding, at least you could do it for as long as you did. Keep on telling yourself that. I heard an awful story at clinic the other day where one lady's little boy had such a traumatic birth that his jaw got dislocated on the way out. Even once it was reset he couldn't suck at all so had to be fed through a tube. She got such bad mastitis that she had to be operated on and physically couldn't breastfeed. Another baby at clinic the other day was born without her oesophageal flap and therefore cannot eat the conventional way. She's at the age now where she's learnt too that eating hurts so refuses to eat even when they try. She needs an operation to rectify it. She has always been fed through a tube but they are thinking of putting a tube through her stomach so she doesn't have the tube on her face. There is always someone worse off. I'm not putting this here to make any less of your experiences. Just putting them here because it made me realise when I was having all our feeding dramas that things could be so much worse and really I was blessed to feed Amy even just the little bit that I could. Ok I'm getting off my soapbox now too sorry

After all that, I'm going to go and hide in a corner. I hope I didn't offend anyone....not my intention at all. I was just in awe of how these women coped when I'm an absolute mess because my milk had disappeared. Wanted to share their stories.

Hope you are all having a wonderful day xx
