Wow what a crazy couple of days. I can't believe I went from feeling great to feeling absolutely terrible. Mastitis is just the worst and it's made me quite sick and very down. I couldn't stop crying yesterday and there were more tears this morning. It's not pleasant. On top of that, the pain in my boob has been excruciating!! Thankfully we got onto it pretty quickly so the antibiotics should kick in by tomorrow. I've been taking lots of panadol to ease the pain too. Not really what we need right now but hopefully we'll get through it. I keep telling Luke that at this rate, he'll be an only child - LOL.
Danni - I'm closer to Leeming than Cannington but can definitely make the trip out there to meet up!!! I got most of my baby things in Cannington - its not that far. I'm closer to the coast and Fremantle!! It will be great to meet you guys!!
Lulu - I'm so sorry to hear the first bottle was a bit of a disaster, sometimes it takes a while, so stick with it. We were really lucky with Luke - he'll take ANYTHING!!! I'm using the Tommie Tippie bottle and teat and it's really great. I used an Avent one at my SIL the other day and Luke didn't like it anywhere near as much. The tommie tippie one is much more like the nipple and I found the milk came out easier too. The one I use has little dimples around the bottom of the teat, if that makes sense - it's really great and I highly recommend it. It came with the breast pump but I'm sure you can buy them separately too. Maybe give that a go. We'll have to try and catch up in the next couple of weeks too!!
Sarah - How confusing about Noahs foot - I hope you get it all sorted out soon!! It would be so great if he doesn't need treatment though!!
Lis - Getting mastitis was one of my worst fears too and of course it had to happen!!! I still can't believe it and don't know how we'll ever get through it!! God help me when we decide to have another bub!!
Tan - How are you honey?? I hope all is going well and you're getting on top of everything. Its certainly not an easy task being a Mum - I've been finding it all a bit much lately!!!
Hmm, thats about all I can manage atm. I do hope all the other lovely mummies are all well and that the 'little ones' are behaving themselves.
Well, I think it's time for another antibiotic, so I'd better keep on top of that!! Luke has had a bit of a cold lately too - he's been really blocked up, it's just so heartbreaking when they're not well but we've been using some saline drops which seem to be helping a little.
