Sorry just a quick post, been away and have to unpack! Haven't read the posts, plan to go back and catch up on what has been happening if lachie allows me to tomorrow.

I am having so many problems feeding Lachie, he is refusing the boob alot! I can't get him to attach and the time we do attach we are doing nothing different, so I am stuffed if I know! It is so frustrating, we went away for the weekend and at 2 peoples places we got so frustrated that I had to ask the people we were visiting if I could use their bathroom to go and express - how embarrassing. He cries and just won't attach, but then all through the night feeds he is ok, really bad after his medicine in the morning and night too. He just won't initiate the let down, seen a lactation consultant and she suggested I hand express to get the let down, but that still doesn't work. I can't go on expressing forever, it is sooo not convenient, so if things don't improve I can see us giving up. I really don't want to and this really upsets me but I gather happy bubba, happy mumma!

Also I have to go off all dairy, appears as well as the reflux Lachie is intolerant to the protein in cows milk! His poos are explosive, mucousy and have green chunks. So I have to do this for atleast a mth and see if things improve. You just don't realise how hard this is, dairy is a big component of my diet and I am finding it sooo hard to eat these days!!!

Well we just went away for the weekend, looking at another newsagency, looks like this one is a goer and we will be taking over in Dec/Jan. The town is small but nice, by the name of Tieri.

Hope everyone is well.
