OP - I don't really consider myself brave for refusing pain relief. I just didn't want to do anything that would harm B. I'd have never been able to forgive myself if I had done something to him just to make myself feel better. Thankfully between the panadol and neurophen (thanks Sal!!) which I am alternating every two hours now I feel pretty good....all things considered. I still can't figure out why the doctors told me it was 'counterindicative' (whatever that really means) to breastfeeding when it says on the packet that it's okay to use. The company wouldn't put something like that one there and risk opeing themselves up to lawsuits if they hadn't fully had approval.

Emma - I was pretty happy to find out I hadn't died to And B is VERY happy that my milk is back to normal. He's back to his old mellow self again which is nice.

AFM - Just sleeping mostly. DH has been watching B a lot for me and I've had a couple friends who gave me a surprise cleaning visit yesterday. Cleaned the whole house for me and did a heap of laundy. Can't tell you how thankful I was to them for that!

Gotta run. B needs a change.
