oh Kel you poor love. I hope the antibiotics kick in fast and your mastitis disappears very very quickly.

Sarah - I'm the same. I'm fine if my mum has Izzy but if its anyone else I want to grab her back straight away! We're supposed to be going to a friend's 40th in a couple of weeks and I just don't think I'm happy leaving her, unless its with my mum and she lives 160kms away. Very unfair cos DH's mum is absolutely gorgeous and managed to raise 4 kids herself, but I don't think new mums get to be rational. And that is hopefully fantastic news about Noah's little foot. So much better if it will fix itself than for the poor little guy to have to go through any treatment procedure.

Lis - how did you go with the uphill feeding? Hope it helps.

Danni - where are you guys staying when you're in Perth? We need to organise some sort of catch up. I'm happy to have you and Kelly over to my house if you like, depending on where you're staying. If its too far then I can come to you.

Tan - how are you going sweetie? Feeling a bit happier and getting a bit more sleep or is that naughty Izzy of yours still having short feed stretches?

So, the expressing saga continues . . . We tried to give Izzy her first EBM bottle last night and it was a disaster. She kept pushing the teat out and ended up screaming her lungs out until she got the real thing. I've got two different sized Avent teats but she didn't like either of them. What brands are all of you using for your bottles? I only want to have EBM a a backup if I'm out or so DH can give her a feed so there's no urgency yet, but to be honest the thought of never being able to leave her for longer than a feed break is very, very depressing.
