Hi All! I've been a bit MIA this week as Lottie and I have been out and about most of the week socialising, lol . Now that I'm pretty much bottle feeding EBM and Formula the preassure has been off and I'm enjoying motherhood even more. She's still sleeping like an angel and I'm starting to get into a routine of a 10.30 or 11pm feed so we can try dream feeding at some stage. She usually goes through until 4am and is down within half an hour then up again at 7 and DH does that feed, bless him.

Taurean - I am so with you on all of your issues. Basically Charlotte is only having one bottle of EBM a day now as my supply is dropping off again (I'm weaning off the meds and herbs now as I've given it a great shot but happy to let nature take its course). I'm popping her on my right breast (the left has totally dried up) for about 15 mins and she drains it then giving her the formula or anything I managed to express during the day to top her up. I think my supply will probably dry up in the next week or so anyway. She's having 120ml to 180ml of formula at a time.

I'll bet you feel like a cow sitting there all day.. I know exactly how you feel! A GF got me a stuffed cow toy as a joke to remember this time.. its good to be able to sort of laugh about it..

I hope your infections clear up soon!

Kelly - 6 week jabs, ouch! Lotties are next monday. We're off to Noosa for a week so I want to make sure she's had her first lot before we hop on the plane. How is the breast infection?

Sorry I haven't written too many personals. I hope everyone is going well. It sounds like the majority of us have had BF issues.. and its def not fair TV makes it look so easy!
