Oh, MFD, doesnt sound like what I thought it would have been either !!
Hope he gets better soon, and you have every right for a wee cry to yourself xx

got-it-spend-it

Big hugs for you and hubby MFD. It does sound pretty miserable for him, but hopefully he will be home in a few days and I'm sure seeing Benjamin and you will cheer him up immeasurably!

More get stronger vibes for Tara, DD and DGD x x x

Evening all,

MM - good luck for your first day back tomorrow. You are very organised to have time to pamper yourself! I would be running around like a headless chicken. Love the pic of Dylan in your avvie btw. Hadn't got round to mentioning it yet.

Glam - are you still fighting for FF on that other thread? Haven't been back to check yet! Night anyway. Hope Jack sleeps well in his own room tonight.

Hope Tara's DD and DGD are doing well and continue to progress. Glad she is getting a bit of support now.
And Weezl, it was lovely of you to offer to help them out.

I have the cold. DH had the lads staying all weekend and I have looked after them well, but one of them had the cold and I think I have caught it. I am in bed with a Lemsip and a sore throat.

Holly has been an absolute gem all weekend and I think they heard her cry for about 10 seconds. She is just happy and smiley if a little bit unsettled today with teething. She is in bed at the moment so wondering if this is her for the night as she usually goes down around 10.30, but has managed not to nap this evening. We'll see!

It is quite common!! Did she take any at all?

I think a few tiny sucks. She was already crying though, so not the best time to be shoving a stange teat into her mouth. At one point i thought she was going to take to it but she screamed at me. Anyway i didn't persist too long, just gave her the breast which she promptly and vocally om-nom-nom'd and now after all that screaming, she's sleeping.

I hope i haven't left it too long to introduce a bottle? I keep reading stuff where it says to do it in the first few weeks, and she's now 7 weeks. Which are the teats that mimic the breast flow?


Sorry i haven't acknowledged anyone tonight, feeling knackered and not absorbing much at all

Thanks for the image of 8 inch tubes in your boobs :shocked:

Whassup? Have you been elsewhere?? I never venture outside these days

A thread that started off as a rant about the cost of forumla being hiked up has turned into the usual BF V FF debate. I just posted this with you & Sami in mind

I think it's because some (not all) BF mothers look down their noses at FF mothers and believe they are superior for BF. This is certainly how the BF mothers at my local baby group come across and I live in a really good area.

I have however met BF mothers who are lovely and respect people's decisions to FF rather than try to ram it down their throats that They are still BF at 6 months.

Fitzio - I'm bowing out now. I just get hacked off when BF is rammed down your neck and that any decision to give up is deemed unacceptable!
Boo for catching a cold after you were so good to look after them!

Right, I'm getting a bit annoyed and abit too opinionated in my old age so I'm off to get Jack's bottles ready and then go to bed

Only opinionated if you're wrong or unreasonable surely ? I've been reading the other thread, and whilst I'm a BFer who has had issues and persevered through them, I agree more with your posts than the two BFers posting on there. That might make me odd though!

Beenie, which one are you using? Finn hated TT CTN 1 teats as it took him like an hour to get out 2 oz! I use Breastflow primarily but also CTN 2 teats (which he likes a bit better).

Hi Chick, sounds like Amber's having the 6wk ish growth spurt and draining all your energy!
Hopefully it'll last less than a week then she'll settle down a bit.
I think the TT Closer to Nature bottles are supposed to be like the breast?
Hang in there, your doing great!

I've only just started reading that thread and not got through it yet, but make that two of us!

Although i did just try and force feed Amber some formula for no apparent reason so not sure who i'm meant to be representing at the mo :rotfl:
