loula - i had very sore nipples as G wasnt attaching properly and caused some damage. i visted the lactation consultation and she said it was probably cos she's little and my nipples were too big for her to get it to the back of her mouth and she could only get them to the front of her mouth and thus causing damage. so i had been expressing and giving her EBM. i know, so damn tiring.. i've slowly started putting back to the breast, did a second visit to the LC. she's attaching better now but still painful so am doing a few feeds on the breast and most via EBM.

sorry to hear abt DH.. does he help w changing nappies, bathing etc. it's hard when every little thing on caring about baby lies on our shoulders. fathers can just walk away and not worry abt things, and we are so attached to our babies we cannot part from them or ignore things that need to be done. fathers can just tune out when they want to..

have to run. G needs a feed
