Yet another update (is quiet in here!),

Still have sick bub, no boobie feeding either. He is off his food too and wont have as much EBM, so at least it is not just me. He will take 240 mls of boiled water at the 3am feed, so I think he must be so thirsty. At least he is keeping his fluids up.

Today he seems alot better, he even had a 30 second suckle (until he coughed and spluttered and came off ) We had a nice play on the ground together with minimal grizzling, and now he is sleeping happily. I found the flu medicine for bubs has worked really well at drying him up. The vaporiser is also great. I am hoping that once he is better he will be back on the boob

I posted in the breastfeeding problems and support forum that I really do think that if I had experienced these problems earlier on I would be on anti-depressents now. As it was, I got diagnosed with mild post-natal depression and had a few months of counselling to sort me out. Thankfully he fed well back then! I never imagined it would be [I]this[I] hard

I really hope you are all having a better week than me.
