*sneaks in*
I have been meaning to lurk my way in here & say g'day to you guys for just about forever (ok, well 6 months anyway). So sorry for butting in but I HAD to reply!

Milly - ouch you poor darling - you are SO not a terrible mummy! You are an awesome mummy who is doing a wonderful job, please don't beat yourself up. I think every mother goes through this "do I/don't I" dilemma with panadol at some stage, it really doesn't make you bad. And really hope those nipples heal asap, that sounds horrible

Cassius - g'day hun, how is life treating you? those bottles are gorgeous btw!

HPL - oh noes, you've had a rough time too. GL with the ultrasound, I'm sending positive vibes & hoping they can sort things out. Boo for AF, I got mine back in feb, I was so annoyed lol but then the next one wasn't for 6 weeks! So i figured that was a kinda bonus (I'm usually very regular so must be the BF'ing).

Re sippy cups, I've tried Nuby with no joy and am about to try Heinz baby basics today. My little munchkin has 2 teeth now but hasn't been biting thank goodness - so saying we still feed with nipple shields so maybe I wouldn't feel it anyway lol. I too have only wanted to BF her but now I need to get her onto something other than me cos she's starting 1 day of family daycare after Easter (yes that's a whole 'nother long story). Otherwise she's good, sleeping pretty well now too & adorably pudgalicious. She's still on meds for reflux with a review this month. My DH has been sick since early Dec with vertigo (that's why the daycare) so that's been my biggest hassle (oh and she was not sleeping well at ALL in the day earlier but has really improved now - thanks to sleep consultant/sleep goddess!). DH got better for 1 week (trialling meds) but did his back that week so he's now back on the meds and we just want them to kick in sooner rather than later! (OMG do I EVER!) Add to that my work has made me redundant and we've rehomed our dog. I think I have not been cursed with boring times, but then again, maybe no-one with a little bubba ever is!

Anyway that's our quick update, would love to lurk in here & try catch up with you all - I don't have much time, but I've been thinking about you all after lurking in the PG thread lol. Hope you're all well
