Weezle - the aftercare was terrible but its due to short staffing and the midwives themselves are excellent - a couple of nights ago we had 1 mw and 1 student mw and 1 nusery nurse to 16 new mums - four of us were high risk

:eek: That's scary. Glad the support you did get was good though.

Odd question I know but - Can babies go off breast milk... William seems to prefer formula and I am having to increase those bottles as he is always sick with BM direct (when he will take it) and even EBM in bottles he is turning his nose up at?

Despite dodgy start to the day - Henry being sick 3 times we ended up going out for the day to London which was nice.... hope everyone else has had a nice day

Course you can join! And if you ever do decide you need to ofload to someone who has done the whole Pre-eclampsia and horrible birth thing, my PM box is open. It does get better though.

Thanks tia:D

Just jumping in again.... But Elle if you deicde to eat the kiwis I find cutting them in half then scooping out the flesh with a teaspoon is easiest, especially once they are really rip and juicy.

Ta muchly How are you doing, Sarah? Enjoying your mat leave.. calm before the storm?

Could it be something to do with the temperature of the milk maybe? Does the EBM warm up as much as the formula cools down (if you're making it just before you use it)?

Rhys didn't seem to know the difference at first, but now he's gone back to preferring EBM and faffing about with formula bottles. Drinks it eventually, just not as easy as EBM.

Glad you had a nice day out Is Henry okay now?

Congratulations JHA

Maz - have you been eating something different to normal to make it taste funny?

Elle - I did some kiwi fruit and strawberry puree for Izzy which she loved, if you have any strawberry puree in the freezer.

DH did his own bit of bargain hunting earlier - they were selling 2 punnets of strawberries for £2 at the market. He jokingly complained that they were smaller than he thought, and the guy gave him 3 instead

I'm jelous of all your takeaways - we had a scrummy dinner, but we've not had takeaway for ages.

Thanks elle I'm loving the mat leave so far! I'm sleeping so long that I don't know how I would be coping getting up to go to work if I was still in. I'm sleeping well at night, albeit waking about 3-4 times per night with BH's or needing to pee (or both) and getting about 10 hours per night! This morning I had to get up after "just" 8 hours so I had a 2 1/2 hour nap this afternoon!!

So yes, I'm definitely making the most of it! Had a pretty easy pg so far too so just enjoying myself and spending a lot of time with my feet up.

Yep Henry is fine although wnated to go to be at 8.15 :eek:which is unheard of so worrying about tomorrow morning now:eek:

Generally EBM is given almost straight away ie warm or warmed up and the bottles are about same temp so not sure about this

Not really as we tend to stick to same sort of foods

from the nickname half-pint I was totally expecting you to have a boy JHA :rotfl:

Orit is a lovely name. Does she look more like you or daddy?

Oh and don't you have to stay in now for 40 days or something and be tended to by your loved ones, or am I making things up now?!
