Hi all,
I was also unaware of this thread. Thanks Trinity.
It is good to stay in the same group.
I was thinking about how tricky bf is when I was in hospital! I assisted many women to bf when I worked at the Mother baby unit and fed my boys for 12 months each but I found the midwives still had advice for me. It is a complex skill to be sure and relies on both mum and bub getting it together.
PM - feeling for you with the cracks and thrush - I remember that pain all too well (even years later!). Have some healing vibes
Oh and I remember having a toddler who nearly loved his little newborn brother to death - hardest year of my life! Best wishes to you for plenty of rest and caring people to support you.

Trinity - good to hear the comps are no longer required. Keep up the good pumping and you will probably end up with an abundance soon! Rest is super important in the milk production process as is food. You probably know that but thought it worth a mention.

My DD has a snuffly nose. She has been a top little feeder and sleeper but her dad has a cold and she is a bit restless onight with difficulty breathing. I'm going to have a short nap now as she wouldnt let me this morning.
