Hi!

Well Louis is asleep - for how long I don't know but he went down quite easily so thats a bonus.

Had a bit of a rough day, I've started taking my iron tablets again because I've been feeling really lethargic and weak...I'm vegetarian so I probably shouldn't have stopped but I'm bad at remembering.

I called my Mum up for a bit of support with just being tired and she just gave me a lecture saying that he probably isn't getting enough milk and I should just give him formula.. Grrrr. I really don't think thats the problem but just in case I've given him lots of extra feeds through the day. I offered him just before he went to bed as well and he didn't even want it so I think I've filled him up pretty well! hehe. I have nothing against ff but I just want to persevere with b/f for a while longer. My goal was 6m so not far off anyway. I just don't think it's the problem. I ended up getting really upset with my Mum and told her I just need support but she just says most Mums will try anything to settle their baby why don't you just do it....not what I really want to hear right now. I question everything I do so much so sometimes it's nice just to hear that someone thinks your doing the right thing. I love my little boy so much and I would never do anything to make him an unhappy baby.
Urrrgghh!!

Well, you'll all have a break from my ramblings as we're heading off for the weekend. I'm looking forward to it actually! Some fresh beach air will do me good!!

Kell/Linda - I tried having a nap with Louis before and he's just not used to it and woke up really upset actually!! So I won't be doing that tonight unless I really can't settle him. He's not used to it so it probably won't help anyway.
I've thought of what I've been eating but it's not different to normal...it doesn't seem like he's in pain though just doesn't feel like sleeping!!

Just want to say I'm so glad I have all of you to chat with!!! Sometimes it feels like this is my only resource and you are all so wonderful to talk/write to!!

OK - we'll see how we go tonight and over the w/e - have a great one everyone!
