Ta chopsticks:)

Expressing with the pump today is much quicker than it was last time. I'm guessing that is just due to me being engorged to the point of pain

Will keep going for as long as I need to then call DH to tell him he is coming home from the pub. I'm nackered and need a nap if I'm going to be up all night again!

Teething can be a reason a baby won't go to the breast but if she's not very well then it could be that too... Maybe she has a bit of a headache or earache and lying down to feed is uncomfortable... It's all a guessing game really until they're big enough to tell us what's wrong... Have you tried different positions etc?

Kellymom has some good information on nursing strikes...

Quick question, if I ate something that gave a taste to my milk, how long would it take for the taste to affect my milk??

Amber refused the breast so I expressed and when she woke up, gave her what I had expressed. She refused it and went as far as to make faces and retch! I ended up mixing it with formula and she took it but with a look that said she knew it wasn't right.

It could either have been the almost whole raw onion I had with dinner last night (fajitas) about 7pm or the smoothy an hour before I fed her. Whatever it was she did not like it!

Evening All

I hope everyone is well:)

I've not really had a chance to get on lately and probably won't come on much at all from now onwards.

Kai has been a bit under the weather, so has been extremely miserable and really hard work especially as he hasn't been sleeping barely at all (day or night) and just crying a lot.... On top of that I have so much organising to do and sorting out finances for uni. We have also just bought a car, but as money is so tight at the moment we bought a cheap one that needed work doing to it, nearly done with it now and will have a £2500 car for £1600, so quite a good saving:)

Just want to thank everyone who I have chatted to both from the pregnancy thread and on here and I 'will try' to pop in on the odd occasion to check up on how things are going with everyone, but not sure if I will actually manage to.

Good luck for the future everyone, love and best wishes to all:)

Ohh mel, I will miss you :D

I really hope you will drop in and let us know how you are, but please don't feel a pressure to read everything

Lots and lots of love and luck to you too. Really hope Kai's sleeping sorts itself soon too.
