Hi everyone,

I'm new here and just wanted to introduce myself.

My daughter Ella was born on 31st August. She was very determined to be punctual, waiting until her due date to arrive despite my waters breaking 59 hours earlier!

We're breastfeeding, which is going great now after a rocky start. Came very close to switching to formula as I had cracked nipples and mastitis at the end of the first week, and just couldn't take the pain anymore. Took a break from BFing and expressed for more than a week. Ella has been back on the boob for nearly two weeks now and is gaining weight like a champ.

Looking forward to getting to know you all.
