Thanks guys I have been trying different things. Also I've only just come off antibiotics so I don't know what effect that has had either. Some days I will get heaps of breastfeeds in, other days it seems like I am topping him up or comping all day. Or it might be one day I will breastfeed right up until about 9pm and then the last lot he seems to need a bottle and a half.

I really am caught between the two things in that he doesn't refuse the breast outright, but he is also used to having bottles. He does make different signals for both actually now come to think of it.

When we see the GP on Monday we will do the 8 week shots (well we were meant to get them at 6 weeks due to whooping cough epidemic) I will see if she can refer us to any further public health service; if not and I might just get a lactation consultant anyway. The LC's I've emailed so far haven't replied though, and neither has the ABA helpline lol! Cindy at the hospital said they also work privately so they might be the ones to get in touch with.

I am aiming to get some Baby Beehinds for overnight use, and use terry during the day. The PUL covers work alright with terry nappies but I can't seem to buy many more plastic pilchers which is frustrating, I might have to use shopping bags lol.

I am just giving him boiled water now not with the sugar whoops! He tolerates his hiccups better now though. I've also ordered some baby probiotics.
