Is anyone still BF their original Junie babies? Just when I think the booby bit is over Nathan latches back on. I still seem to be giving him boob 3 times a day, I WANT MY BOOBS BACK!!!! I say no and try to give him a cup and he slaps it away and tears at my shirt to have "his' booby. Then I feel bad for telling him no so I give it to him.

Tali that is aweful about that lady's DH, just so sad. Congrat's on taking the plunge and going for No. 4, Don't listen to that old woman's ramblings, 4 is a good number. The flooding is really a catch 22 isn't it so awesome to see the ground wet bust grrrrrrr does it have to flood. As you know I used to live in Tieri near Emerald,so I have quite a few friends living in Emerald, a couple of them had to be evacuated as their houses went under,they had enough warning though to be able to put stuff up and packed the car chockers with their prize possessions, the biggest thing though is that they are insured for flash flooding and storm damage but NOT rising flood water damage,so they are saying insurance companies are laughing their way to the bank and won;t have to pay as most people do not add rising flood level damage to their policies and it didn't happen in a storm, bullsh it isn't it.

Nic yay for Tyron on the weight gain, see as long as he is growing and healthy there is no need to worry about how you feed him. With the formula , what brand and kind is it, could it be just the adjustment phase onto it, are you measuring properly (I assume you are just putting the ideas out there, Could he be lactose intollerant, no wait that's explosive poos isn't it ummmm, Does he need glutten free????? May be give an extra water bottle in the mix as it is Summer and babies dehydrate very quickly and maybe the extra water will give him softer stools. (Disclaimer some friendly advice to follow about BF, I don't wish to turn this into a FF-v-BF debate, cause quite frankly don't give a pigs bottom how anyone else feeds their child....I recognise It's a personal choice) 6wks, 12-16 weeks and then 6 months are the three hurdle times to be prepared for when breastfeeding, At these times babies need to be kept at the breast very often to kick start the next rung in the breastfeeding ladder. As baby grows we need to increase our supply thats why they have those hurdles they should only last a couple of days and your milk should increase to meet your babies demand, increasing FF decreases their appetite and need for boob so milk store deminish further instead of increasing. Yes it means a screaming whinging baby for a couple of days maybe sore boobs from increased suckling, sleepless couple of nights but if it is something you really want to do you have to perservere, Easier said then done. Also what is his feeding schedule, is it regular or irregular, if it is irregular on top of the hurdle phases this too can decrease your suply, What about weightloss...in you, are you keeping a regular healthy diet with minimal caffiene and increased water. I know it seems alot to consider and it is easier to give it up and chuck them on the bottle, I've been there done that and still went on the breastfeed my last three for a very long time. The biggest thing in all of this is don't torment yourself. Do what you need to do to survive day to day with two under two, if FF makes everyones life better in your house then so be it and damn those people that tell you differently, you have given him a good start, big props to you girl!!!
Mel how is Marley's fat lip, Nathan goes a gutsa all the time and always seems to be bleeding from somewhere, but he did the same thing a couple of months ago, owwweeeee it was really bad cut on the inside and two little punctures on the outside, it was aweful. But they are resilient aren't they. Ready for school......
