Tia, have you tried feeding her while she sleeps? Caitlyn tends to make lip smacking motions in her sleep and at midnight if I'm awake I'll give her a feed...Took a few goes before she did it, but now she just latches on and feeds without waking... I just tried her while she was having a nap too just because I thought my right boob might explode... She latched on, fed like a dream then woke up happy!

I agree with ladybird, just keep offering it to her whenever you get the chance of a 5min sit down... It might also pre-empt a starving baby just as you're going out the door...

It's a lot to fit in, but popping her on the boob would still work out quicker than waiting for the kettle to cool down to make up a bottle, then feeding her the bottle...

I'm debating going into town tomorrow.. Is that a silly idea with it being the last/second to last day of the school hols?

I am going to town tomorrow, but I really have no choice...the kids need school socks and some form of lunch box (to tide them until they go on hot dinners) I also need a few bits for Kai...sleeping bag, vests, socks, sleepsuits and sitting up bath support seat.....

If I didn't need the last bits for the kids going back to school I would probably leave Kai's bits it till they are back;)

:hello: Hiya!

How are you and lil Oscar doing now? Awesome birth date btw

You prob know from lurking, but everyone is fab here - there probably isn't a question we can't answer between us! - so just shout out if you have a problem and jump in with the waffle too xxx

Gah.. I always get teary when I read "emergency c-section"!

Thanks elle, Oscar is doing great, I've still got district nurses coming in daily for my section wound ( bad infection ) and back on antibiotics as now have infection of veins in my leg. On the plus side I can walk about again:T:T have even managed a little stroll round tesco's.
Great to hear and see Rhys is still making great progress x

Careful.. Tesco is dangerous.. three vests and a really cute outfit for Rhys just FELL into my trolley earlier.. I only went to get lunch and some white spirit to clean paint brushes!

Tell me about it lol. I got a T-shirt for Oscar with 'i love my big sis' on it and one with 'lil bro' on it he so does not need any more clothes lol. It was just so nice for me to buy something for him myself:o.
Oscar is asleep with daddy waiting for his big sis to come home to show off his new outfit.
DH is back to work tomorrow :eek:. Makes me want to cry just thinking about it:o.

Is your DD still off school for a few days yet? (another awesome birthday btw - same as mine, minus 10 years! ) Are the big two being helpful?

I'm looking at this... http://www.boots.com/en/Tommee-Tippee-Closer-to-Nature-Electric-Breast-Pump_954508/

Can't afford the swing, am a little scared of electric pumps now but think I need to get one to be able to express, spent 40 mins pumping with my little harmony and got a whopping... 30mls :cool:

ETA, *swear words* it's out of stick.
