Awwwwwwww hugs to all who are having major issues BF'ing. Don't beat yourselves up over it ladies... ultimately, you all have to do what is best for both you and the baby. After all, happy mum = happy baby!

Belle - Great to see you in here hon. Sorry to hear the Julia isn't settling... Alexander has a lot of those days, we just do what we can (feed, change, swaddle etc) and other than that, all I can do is hold him tight whilst he cries it out and sometimes that can take a while. Quite often tho, he'll let out a huge burp or fart and be (sort of) content again. Today has been one of those days - it's taken me all morning to settle the little guy and even now, he is very restless and noisy in his sleep.

Well, gonna go make myself some lunch whilst I get a chance... I just don't seem to have enough hours in the day to eat anymore. arggghhhhh, loosing too much weight now.

On a good note, I'm loving the new Avent breast pump... I wish I had realised how awesome it was and just forked out the $$$ for it in the first place! It's over twice as fast as the other one I had.
