Oh no! Nic crying too?! maybe it's the full moon tonight? But you're right Nic... that stupid MCHN should have been more supportive... I guess you've probably tried everything but have you expressed a bit from the bad side until you can kinda form a nipple for his mouth to latch onto? Even my nipples get a bit hard for Niall to latch onto when I'm engorged. Also, apparently there is an excellent ABA group that meets regularly in Heidelberg... I haven't joined because I don't really need any support, although I've considered going to a few meetings (they suggest you go along to a few before you subscribe) and if they are a nice group of ladies i might join just for the social side of things... it might be easier to talk to women in a group like that rather than a Mother's group or Playgroup (I don't talk about anything really personal at those sorts of places either). BFing is such a hormonally regulated thing that it's not surprising you get upset when things get tough... you're doing a fantastic job Nic and deserve to have it acknowledged more than what it is! Now sorry, I had to laugh at that last line of yours: "great will prob be lots of big fat nipple shots!" hehe

Amanda: Now how are you going darl, all the boys in bed now? I forgot to say that In-liven is a probiotic superfood powder that Kelly Zantey has discovered and has started a thread in BB about. Quite a few of us are now trying it and it's helping us with a variety of health issues.... mine being sugar cravings. Try to find the thread and have a read. If you can't find it then locate a post by Kelly (BellyBelly) and there is a link in her signature.
