Sorry to jump in, I was orginally in this birth group but went early. I just wanted to pop in say hi to Ang & see how she was going & of course hi to everyone else.

Ang, Sorry to hear that you had a difficult labour, at least you've recovered now.
I was in a very similar situation to what you've discribed as I couldn't breast feed Madeleine so was seeing the lactation consulants at the hospital but I could only EBM all feeds, they're great aren't they. I had thrush & just took the nilstat capsules (only cost $22) two doses of that seemed to clear it up for my along with the daktarin gel, unfortunately it's a little harder to clear for bub. I also had a terrible milk supply so went on the molitium tablets, they worked a treat, I had 2 scripts & have now given up as my supply wont stay good unless on the tablets & I don't quite feel so great on them, so we are about to revert to formula.

Anyway, hope that's of some help.
