Yay! my DS has breast fed 8 times in a row now I stayed in the breast feeding unit for 2 feeds and I think that really helped. That and the baby whisperer LC DS's still fussing a bit initially...

She has one feed overnight, but it can be anywhere from 2am to 6am! How old is your little man, just wondering given he's still having 5-6 feeds a day. That sounds like DS who is now 7 1/2 mont...

Hi, do you demand feed? I have found with DS that he just feeds when he wants which atm is about every 4 hrs. So he is still on about 5-6 feeds a day, including 10.30pm & early morning. He doesn't ...

Thanks everyone for your replies, a lot of good advice which seems to have helped. I probably should have said he is 7 1/2 months and this has been ongoing. We had a lot of latching problems to sta...

have you tried hydrogel pads? No, what do they do?

Hahah thanks for the giggle

Hi, Sounds horrible! The advice I've always been given is if it's bleeding not to let baby on for 24hrs. So, I would just keeping up the expressing, maybe try from a sippy cup instead of a bottle...

It's not so much the pain, actually the pain has gone and the nipples seem to be toughening up.I was given a nipple shield but find it too fiddly. It's more the boring part i don't like. And I for...

Hey I would call the lactation consultant and try to go back and see him. I saw them for quite a few weeks after I had DS as I also had problems with attachment. They were really good and only stop...

Thank-yous for the replies, sorry I should have stated this properly she is fine with a sippy-cup during the day, another problem I have is whenever she goes down for a sleep/nap at anytime of the...

So make mental note to take the 'real' car (our other one is a 74 VW Beetle) and make sure the baby seat is behind his seat. Got ya! I think I just get worried because a read a lot about quick ...

Hi, try not to worry although I know that is easier said than done! I was the same as you, DF works about 45 mins from home and the hosp is about 30-45 mins away depending on traffic. The morning I...

Go to Bras n Things (if you have one near where you live). I also had the same problem with my huge boobies at the moment, though still a size 10. I ended up finding a size 10E sports bra that is ...

Congrats to all you mums & mums to be who are studying! It's great to see and hear your stories. Can't believe some of you are studying with tiny bubs! DS is 6 months and I'm freaking about going b...

Yup as everyone else has said I would be FUMING! The same thing happened with our DS and FIL, although DS was 5 months and had started on rice cereal but that is not the point. FIL took it upon him...

Mid North Coast is great! Very family friendly area and so much to do, Forster and Port Macquarie are lovely

Thanks for all the input and advice. I really like what you said juliemac74, I think if she ever says something a bit over the line I might try that so she knows she has offended me etc. It's frus...

Thanks for replying, yeah I tried google as well but I got the same as you. I might try Toys R Us anyway.
