Hi All,

We have fallen off the front page again ......

Thought I would try and post befor Jaida wakes... have tried for 3 days now LOL

This is a response you all as I cant remember who said what
Lisa - Activite?? Do you mean the chocolate drink like milo?? Does that increase supply?? Yes I do have an Avent Isis. Seem to be getting better at expressing but still I am only getting 30-40mls per time. Will look into the Medela. I was very frustrated the other day, I need to go to the city with Jaida and took the expressed bottle and she refused to take it . I spent 4 days getting the 100mls and it was wasted as she refused to take it . I then tried at home thinking the environment of the city was stressing her but she refused again - she tends to push it out with her tongue - any suggestions.

I have now expressed for a few days now until I know she will take the bottle, it just takes to long.

Leanne - how awful to her about the shoulder problem with your girl.... I would have been beside myself as well. I hope your little one is doing much better.

My mum has come to visit which is wonderful - yummy cooked meals, house all clean, what would I do with her.

The engorgment continues. Poor Jaida gets sprayed with milk when she is trying to attach during the first feed of the day. I am not so bothered about the engorgement as it is reasonably easy to fix I am more perplexed by the pain I have in my BB after the feed. A deep burning sensation... Although I go back to bed after the first feed (about 5:30am) I cant sleep due to the pain. This breastfeeding thing is very complex.

Anyhow I am going to try to read the paper now

Hope your all doing well
