Success!!! ..well, a little.. Had DS latched on and sucking away for about 5 mins all up this morning. He keeps pulling away, and then when i managed to keep him on, after a minute or so he started shaking his head, punching and kicking like he does when i think he's not getting enough. He'd been doing that with the sheild before I tried this too (even 1st thing in the morning now!!!), but when we went back to the sheild he seemed to be getting some for a while. ...or he'd just given up and was just sucking for the comfort...?

Question; how long does everyone take to BF? It can take me up to 2 1/2 hours at the mo.

Didi, that's awful about your parents house. Hope it all gets sorted out soon.

Tanstar, you obviously had no probs with the driving? My 1st attempt will be tomorrow. I'm sure it won't be a prob though. Did you know insurance won't cover you until 6 weeks after a CS? I spose they have to be extra careful.
