I'm glad there is no pain for you yet and I hope it's not yet to come!

1) how do you dry whatever you've boiled sterilised?I just let it dry on a fresh tea towel - it dries in a matter of seconds because the steam is so hot!

2) do you sterilise them just before you give the bottle or do you store them? if so, where?I have a special big container that all her sterilised stuff goes into.

3) how do you warm the EBM if it's been in the fridge/freezer?I fill a milkshake cup with hot water and pop the EBM milk in there.

4) is it the same calculation for how much ebm they get as if you were doing formula?
It is the same calculation but babies are allowed more BM if they want because the hormone in BM tells them when they are full and have had enough. That's what the LC told me anyway. Ro will usually take 20 mls more, sometimes more sometimes less.

Rochelle has settled down with that behaviour, so perhaps it was just a growth spurt? Perhaps James is going through one too? I thought I did read somewhere that babies do know they have to keep draining the breast when Mum's sick? IDK... I thought I read it, but can't remember where.
