Cally, I totally understand the "feeling like a food machine" I had a little breakdown on Friday (very tired and mastitis was killing me) and I said to dh I feel like cow, all I do all day is sit on the couch with my boobs out and a child attached. I am feeling heaps better now though and feeding has become so much easier. Im sure it will get easier for you too. I have just mastered the feeding while laying down today, I could do it in hospital but not when I came home. Hang in there and keep trying.

Jodie I agree with Marydean, if you have anyone offering to help then take them up on it. ALso try and relax and take it easy while you have your dh at home.

Things are going great at my end. My mastitis seems to have gone (touch wood) and Logan is feeding and sleeping well. I think I am slowly getting the hang of being a mum
