Emma - it just started this week..it has been pretty cold and windy here so i think that made the skin on her face worse..luckily so far its manageable with lots of E45...Sounds like your "losing the plot" was very minor, you are coping amazingly well...I am coping much less well than you I think, I definitely have a touch of PND I'm sure, but its getting better. Still can't cope too well with her crying and tend to shout for my hubby to come and help!
It's been a weird sort of day here..was at the breastfeeding clinic today and Kirsten latched on and fed using a nipple shield for the first time, it was wonderful. Then she came home and breastfed for two hours..but then she seemed to lose her grip and got into a panic and started screaming and wouldn't latch on again..so she spent the evening upset and hungry, although I did express and give her a bottle.
So not sure how much I should persevere as she is happy and content taking expressed milk from a bottle, and screaming on and off when I try to breastfeed her. It would be so much easier for me though.
I just have to keep reminding myself that she isn't really upset when crying but just telling me she wants some food..she calms down the minute she is fed!
I must get round to personals soon..I am very impressed by those of you who find the time, I am just perpetually frazzled at the moment!!
