Hello lovely mummy's,

Good to finally to be here... Hope you are all doing well and your little ones are keeping you all busy. I know that Amelia is keeping me busy, now that I have her on Formula we are a happy little family. She is sleeping better and feeding well, it was stressing me out and I felt pressured to continue with BF even though I knew deep down she wasn't getting enough from me. Plus I was giving her the booby first then what I had expressed (max 20ml) and then topped up with formula more like a chore than me enjoying my new little baby girl.

Well time for another feed so will be back tomorrow hopefully

Oh oh! I found it!!! So can I stay even though I am theoretically 2 groups before!?!

DS and DH are sound asleep after DH did a late night shift with Louis. I feel quite good after another 3+4+3 night. Could this be a routine??? NO!!! Dont jinx it or I shall be back on the 2 hour gig.

Ayapi - good on you for choosing formula and a better quality of life for your whole family. I think there is such extraordinary pressure on woman to BF sometimes it can put a enormous pressure on the whole family unit and I wonder if anyone has studied the impact of that stress. I watched a girlfriend almost lose her mind and her relationship with poor latching, then mastitis, then thrush until she moved to formula. She still feels guilty and I think its wrong that she should at all. She carried that bub for 9 months and she is the sweetest healthiest (and happy!) wee bub now!

Anyway - I need to do some laundry. Better go.
