Bit sad.. But I've hardly any milk left now. I only need to express once a day! I suppose I could build it up again now that the mastitis is leaving. But do I want to?! Sounds selfish but with Easter coming up I won't be able to go to bed and build it up & it will be easier bringing bottles when...

DS has had a bad cold and chesty thing so the doc gave him antibiotics last week. But he finished them yesterday and he's still bad at night. He coughs and chokes throughout the night and doesn't breathe for a few seconds, it's awful :( I use a saline nasal spray but that doesn't last long and...

Has anyones card ever been shown when you've sent it in late? The website says at least 4 weeks to have a better chance. If I posted one tomorrow it would be 3 weeks early but I won't bother making one if there's very little chance of it being shown!

What did you do for your toddlers 2nd birthday? When she was 1 we had a party in a soft play centre but not sure what to do this time, any ideas?

How do you know your ready to stop? The thought of it is making me feel really sad even though part of me thinks it's maybe the best thing, I don't know. Because of the mastitis I've been giving him both boob and bottle but have noticed my supply has been alot less today (possibly affected by...

Anyone else watching this programme? It's really interesting and looks at both sides of the coin. Ironically I'm expressing while I watch lol

Well ladies I thought my nipples were healing but they are sore again while feeding and really burn afterwards so I think it must be a yeast infection :( I have a doctors appointment on Wednesday but until then I just don't want to bf. I've put up with the pain for 2 weeks now and I don't know...

How do you do it properly because I end up getting sore nipples? He sort of pulls it in his mouth and it gets stingy. I find myself sort of leaning into him like boob to baby instead of baby to boob!

If I expressed some milk in a bottle today, can I add to it throughout the day? What about tomorrow? I tried googling this but didn't know how to word it to get the answer lol

Anyone watching it tonight? That poor girl is screaming and asking for an epidural and she's only at 2cm!

Sorry for moaning again about breastfeeding. But does anyone else feel a bit trapped? Every single feed is my responsibility and I don't ever get a break from him which sounds awful but it's just so demanding at times. I dont express so hubby can't help but to be honest he wouldn't have the time...

My left nipple has been really stingy the last 2 days. I thought it must have been a poor latch but today both nipples seem sensitive and raw and surely I know how to latch him by now? Then tonight I felt a big lump in my left boob. Not a hard serious lump, just a big lump of what feels like...

Had DS 7 weeks ago and still need to wear a panty liner as I usually have a little brown staining but today I've been really really tired and have a little red blood, do you think this is the start of my period? It could explain why I'm tired tho. I'm still bf

Ok so I was exclusively bf DS and everything was going well and he usually sleeps 8/9 til 3:30am so that's a good sleep. I normally feed him in our bed until he falls asleep then I put him in the moses basket. But the last two nights he has woken up as soon as I pull the nipple out but he's not...

Googled this today and found it all very fascinating. Our bodies really ARE amazing: http://www.babycenter.com/0_making-breast-milk-how-your-body-produces-natures-perfect-ba_8785.bc

Ok so I've only had a baby boy for 5 weeks but so far boys are FAR easier lol who else agrees?

How long do you spend per feed and how long do they last until another feed? DS seems like such a FAST feeder. Usually between 5-10min maximum and he sleeps 3-4 hours. DD would have taken 40mins, 20 per boob!!!

He's started to want to comfort suck every night with his last feed. I wouldn't mind a few sucks to help him sleep but it's making my nipples hurt when he's not feeding with milk. Tried a dummy but he's so young it just falls out every 2 seconds. I never let him fall asleep on my boob when...

Ouch ouch ouch... Was bf and the rascal really bit down hard on me when he got trapped wind! Couldn't pull it out for a few seconds. Not nice!! Totally stingy now.

Just thought I would let you know that my midwife advised me to not use cotton wool on my boy because the fluff sticks to their testes. You can use the cotton pads though (like the ones to remove makeup). It's just something I never knew :)
