I think you are nice so she must be super nice.

I've checked with the same resource Krystal uses, and the medication I need is as safe as the alternative I've been given, yet I'm not allowed the right one, despite my telling them. They won't look into it any more, which is really annoying.

Have you tried PALS? Or asking to be referred to another doctor for a second opinion? I know my mum used to take my brother to the orthoptist at a hospital quite distance away (and in a different NHS trust) because she wasn't happy with our local one.

Thanks Fitzio, that means a lot that you said that. I think I've been a bit OTT at the moment, because I'm considering giving up breastfeeding.

Sweetie, BF is important to you, and you've said before that you'd like to let Toby self-wean when he's ready. If it's a question of medication it might be better for you both to explore Weezl and brother-of-Weezl's kind offer before doing something you can't reverse.

I'm not trying to tell you what to do, but I'm concerned that you may regret it but your supply won't catch back up.

Big hugs, lovely :grouphug:

YAY Mel - took me a while to catch on d'oh! Congratulations.

yay to SS OH coming home.

Naked botty time is usually enjoyed in this house (by all lol

)

I am feeling so tired and was almost asleep with T on my lap feeding earlier. Think I might see if OH will feed her some formula tonight as I am really struggling at the mo. Especially as T seems to want to wake every couple of hours at night at the mo. then she takes ages going back to sleep so I am wide awake by the time I go back to bed. I get up for all the night time disturbances unless I reach the end of my tether then DH will give it a try to settle her or bring her up to bed for me to feed her.

I just keep rambling now.....

If I knew the medication would work, it'd be an easier choice. Problem is, it might make me worse, or it might make me better. I might be able to plod along as I am without medication, or I might get worse if I do nothing. I'm not particularly depressed now, I'm not sad or tearful, I'm just angry, touchy and fed up, and I just don't want to do any of this any more.

Feelie - is it because of the medication issue? I am sure you will, but give it careful consideration. BFing is obviously very important to you, but you need to look after your own health too, to be a well rounded mum to Toby. I am sure you will make the right decision. Do you not feel that the medication you are on at the moment is enough/appropriate? (Apologies if I have got this all wrong!)

SS - great news about your hubby.
Also, where do you find so much rubbish? You are always throwing out bags of rubbish and tidying up mess! I am sure there are about 20 people living in your flat!

Karen - I am sorry you aren't getting a good nights sleep. I have a wonderful baby who has slept through pretty much every night from the start, and don't know how I would have coped if she had been waking all the time. She woke up 5 times last night but would sleep fine if I brought her into our bed. This is a first, and I think it's just because she is teething and I gave her the cold! I have total admiration for you as although you don't think you are coping, you sound as if you are doing well in the circumstances. You do always sound like you really love Tegan even though it causes you stress. Hope it improves for you soon. x

Why not set yourself short targets and see how you go? Perhaps aim for the end of the month and then reassess? Having a short term goal rather than an indeterminate end to aim for might make it easier. Or write a pros and cons list taking into account how you think you would feel if you switched from breastfeeding?

It's the husband - he's a hoarder, and the flat is so full of the accumulated crap he acquired before I moved in that Molly's bedroom is still a storage room for it all :mad:
Since I moved in I have freed up two rooms for actual using as opposed to storing stuff, insisted on the purchase of a sofa and made enough room for the piano he had in storage to be in the flat with us. But it never ends. Today was pretty epic though - it made a visible difference and I'm much happier. But whenever I start throwing stuff out he gets all shirty if he's here - so I do it when he isn't :rotfl:

It must be very frustrating for you not to know what happens next. I think the idea of short-term goals is a good one.
