Hello!!

Sorry, I'm not even going to attempt to catch up with everything but just wanted to pop in and let you know how we're going - thanks for checking up on me Tan!! Luke's feeding is still a real problem for us, he's almost totally refusing the boob now and the last two days have been terrible. He's been refusing to feed, to the point that I had to express milk on the spot and feed it to him in the bottle - which he took!! Cheeky monkey. We've now given him formula twice and he absolutely LOVES it, so I think we're going to have to go down that track. I'm still trying to hold out until I see the paed again - which has been moved back to next Tuesday now, so we'll see how we go. He's been getting really unsettled lately too and having some pretty good screaming episodes, I think it's because he's so hungry but refused to feed from me. Funnily enough, its still the right boob thats worse - he'll take the left sometimes but the right only very rarely. In two days, he's taken the right boob once (at his 2am feed this morning). Even funnier though, I expressed milk just from the right boob yesterday afternoon and he wouldn't even take it in the bottle. I'm starting to think that the right boob's milk is tasting different or something isn't quite right with it - because 10 minutes after refusing the right boob's ebm, he took formula!! I just don't know what's going on but have accepted the fact that breastfeeding is just not working for us, so we'll move forward. I've still got lots of ebm that I'll use up and talk to the paed about formula!

Anyway, Luke is on my lap and he's getting a little wriggly now. He's also decided he doesn't like going to sleep, so it's been a real challenge getting him to go down - again strange for him but we're getting there!! I'm just so tired all the time.

DH and I went out for dinner last night though, which was nice - it was our 3 year wedding anniversary!!

Better go. Hope everyone is well.
