Ella - sorry to hear that things are so hard at the moment. I hope you can get in to see the LC today. I have my PIL (and BIL's) coming next week, not sure if I can BF in front of them but don't want to spend their whole visit sitting in the bedroom feeding.
Pregpan - how is your night time routine going? We have had one going since the second night home - he has a feed, then bath/nappy-free time with dad, another feed then bedtime. While DH is doing the bathing I have some 'me' time - walk the dog or come online, great to have a little break. It seems to work well and he always has his best sleep after the bath.
Sherie - Will has now made it to just over 10 pound, I was thinking of Alister being that big as a newborn. I am getting a sore back from carrying him around all the time already.
I am quite a public breastfeeder. I didn't think I would be, but I won't leave him to cry just because some bunch of strangers might get offended. I try to do it discreetly but I don't bother with trying to cover us up. He attaches well so there is not too much nipple exposure, I am more worried about people seeing the big flabby stretch mark tummy. The new Orion shopping center down the road from us has fantastic parents rooms, little cubicles if you want privacy, comfortable chairs, tidy and clean. I was at a cafe with mum where I picked a corner table and sat facing the wall to feed him, only to look up after a while and see a giant mirror that was broadcasting the image to the entire room.
Hope everyone got some sleep last night
