Oooh, the mastitis sounds really nasty june78 - I'm glad you got it sorted out and are feeling much better now.

Went proper shopping today, ie retail therapy. Didn't think we'd EVER leave the house after monster poo, then huge vomit all over mummy like exorcist baby except it wasn't green and his head didn't spin, then voracious 'feed like there'll never be booby again' baby for two and a half hours - but we FINALLY made it out of the front door and although he cried for a minute getting in and out of the car he fell asleep as soon as i put him in the baby bjorn and we shopped and had coffee for two whole hours!!!

Got a nursing pillow (the My Brest Friend one) which although extremely ugly and a bit cumbersome to put on, made my aching arms and shoulders feel much better. Euan is doing the 'latch on, latch off' trick which I'm sure is keeping him entertained but not very well fed (and he gulps in air every time he goes on and off), so anything that will help him stay in a good position is a wonderful thing, I can even cope with ugly and cumbersome if it saves my boobies and reduces his wind. They are holding up really well so far but I have heard the stories of the horror of cracked nipples and mastitis - really don't want to go there...

Oh, and we managed to have a bath without him screaming his head off - he was very cute with this confused look of "hmmm, I know I should be screaming right now but I can't remember why. Maybe I do like this water stuff after all...". Although he turned into screaming baby as soon as I got him out of the bath and did a massive wee all over the couch (which is where I was drying him - thank goodness for leather - wipes clean!!). And I still hadn't got most of the vomit off, so the wee didn't make any difference!

So, even though I have been pooed, weed and vomited on, today has been a good day so far. He's finally out for the count, but will wake him at 8:00 otherwise we'll never get any sleep tonight!
