Hi there!

Eza I have exactly the same issue - rightie is embarrassingly prolific, leftie is a lagger. I spoke to a nurse at the community centre today who seemed to think the same way as your nurse - not a problem as long as bub is well-fed. She suggested feeding off the less-productive breast first for a while to boost supply, so that's the plan for now. This is probably good as it gives right boob time to leak a little - Amelia has a bit of trouble attaching when it's over-full and leaky.

HJ I occasionally look up at DH and dare him to call me Daisy... moo! I've had the "hang it all and hand me the bottle" moments too, usually late at night when I'm tired and everything hurts. I do find it pretty convenient though - Amelia tends to yell and yell from the time she wakes up til the time she latches - the times she has had EBM or formula (we were comp feeding to begin with as my milk took ages to come in) she has become quite hysterical whilst waiting for the bottle to warm up so bf soothes her much more quickly.

I'm trying to get my head around bf in public though. I feed barechested at home so am used to having nothing in the way. Now that we're starting to get out a bit more I'm struggling to feed around a shirt, muslin wrap etc. I haven't been fitted for a maternity bra yet as I am living in the nursing singlets (these things rock!!) and the couple of bf shirts I bought from Target are oddly shaped in terms of the cups/openings and not very comfortable... any suggestions for good styles to wear? Preferably cheap

I'm not sure about the expressing question - I use an electric pump (which really does add to the whole dairy cow experience!!) so it's quick and the EBM goes straight into the fridge or freezer depending on need. In hospital the nurses would just add the tiny bits of milk I was expressing to the one storage container as they came along, so I assume it's okay to do that. I'd just transfer it as quickly as possible to maintain a clean container?

DD has been living in a singlet and nappy too. She still freaks out a little bit about bath time (although she is improving) so the cooling effect of the bath is counteracted by the hysteria.

She is very loud, and has been since birth... Can't quite believe us two calm, quiet, homebodies have ended up with such a noisy drama queen of a daughter. Love her to bits though - gee she's cute
