Thanks for the welcome ladies! It's quite daunting to butt into an existing thread but I feel most welcome
Dr. Tal - I haven't tried a chiro yet as i've been happy enough with the osteo. Would I do both? I also had a difficult second stage and had a vacuum extraction after almost 2 hours of pushing so Finn was definitely 'out of alignment' according to the osteo. Sorry to hear you've had to go back to work and that B has been sick. I don't think I could do child care just yet so i'm very luck that I can stay at home for the time being. I'm very impressed that B can crawl, Finn is nowhere near crawling yet!
EmmaJane - with regards to sitting, Finn can sit if I place him in a sitting position but he can't actually put himself in a sitting position yet. He has plenty of padding though which helps him to stay sitting upright! I hope you can work out why T wouldn't take the bottle so you can introduce it again, i'm sure leaving him would be much easier once you know he won't be hungry.
Well i'm having a 'woe is me' day today. Finn's 3rd tooth is coming through, it was through the other day but has gone back up again. Unfortunately while it was still down he bit me while I was feeding and with top and bottom teeth it hurt quite a bit! That afternoon I started to get a bit sore and the next day feeding was incredibly painful, so fearing mastitis I went to the GP. She didn't think it was but gave me antibiotics anyway. Two days later no improvement and now a big red line starting at my nipple so back to the GP for more antibiotics and suspected blood poisoning!!! I'm trying to express so I don't lose my supply but even that hurts, so will have to see how I go. Has anyone else had anything like this happen? Did you get through it?! I'm just dying trying to feed him, I'm not expressing much at all and he won't take the bottle anyway and he wakes at least twice during the night for a feed so I just have to feed him and grit my teeth...
