Bel, you're buggered from the gastro and feeling stressed because you're ill and she may be picking up on that. My first daughter would only settle with Dh too. They said it may be his deep rumbling woice that was comforting for her, so don't feel bad, hun. I know it doesn't seem like it now but you will come out of the other side of this. I remember with Rayanne (dd), I just sat on the bed and cried with her because she just would not stop and I felt helpless. I thought OMG what have I done?? I couldn't forsee a time when I would be able to do something normal like make a cup of tea.

The gastro will be taking a lot out of you, hun. It will be much easier to cope when you feel better. Is your DH back at work yet? Make sure you're drinking enough because you're losing lots of fluids with the gastro AND trying to build a milk
supply. Has you're milk come in properly yet? I just pm'd you my numbers. Call me anytime, but just a warning that its pretty noisy here with 7 kids, lol.
