Jan - good for you having a night away. I had a friend say on Sunday that she was sick of SAHMs saying how tough their job was. I had to bite my tongue and say nothing because if I did I doubt we'd still be friends!!

Well, its all over. After a bottle at 3.30 am and again at 10.00 am she had nothing all day. She slept almost the entire day on my Mum's shoulder. She was so completely exhausted. Very little in the way of a wet nappy, no more bottle. After her only having about 400mls in 34 hours I gave in at 4.40 pm and gave her a breastfeed. My heart was breaking watching her and I was getting to the point of being terrified my milk would dry up and I'd still have a baby I couldn't bottle feed. I'm on the waiting list for an appointment at the GP tomorrow (usual call at 8.00 am for an appointment and they'll try to squeeze me in) and will then get a referral to a paed. I just hope something has changed to give us a medication option for Elena to keep her breastfeeding that Izzy couldn't have. Feeling incredibly deflated by the whole thing. I just want my baby to be healthy and happy and feel as if everything is conspiring against us at the moment.

Again, thank you ladies for your support. There have been many tears today but a lot of them were overwhelming happiness at your kindness and support so thanks again.
