    I smallened your quote for easy reading, Tara, and can only suggest a complaint to the NHS Trust while making sure nobody throws her milk away for her. I was BFing from the beginning with ibuprofen 4x daily (OTC strength) and wasn't told of any reason why I shouldn't.

    As for the food, she should probably grab a takeaway since it's now out of office hours, and make a formal complaint in the morning.

    I'm so sorry this is happening, it must be hard enough for her right now.

    Tara, have you managed to get in touch with your local PALS?

    tara - I hope they feel your wrath!

    Fitzio - I wonder if your problems with BFing Holly varying from baby to baby or possibly have something to do with shape? I'm just randomly musing here, so tell me to shut up if I'm being insensitive...I also have mahoosive boobies (my nursing bra is HH :o) but the size hasn't really caused any problems other than making it difficult to remain modest in public! So maybe it wasn't the size at all for her, but something else entirely...not that we'll ever know but I did get concerned after H was born when you reported trouble :(. I'll stop rambling now.

    mel 0- yay for team pink!!!

    Swimming was good, albeit a bit awkward...to me, the pool felt a bit cold and that's eventually why we had to get out (poor Finn's hands were turning blue!). Jenny, I'd give it a so-so rating...good for being close & convenient but prolly not as nice as the one you went to at Christmas by the sound of it. The worst was there was nowhere to set him down in the changing area while I sorted myself out (wound up using towel on the floor :o) - 1 time I wish I had a pram instead of sling!

    .. Elle - glad the appt went well and that you are capable of playing with your own son!!! Does that mean no more play visits? Did she weigh him or will you need to get up in the morning?

    ... Right without turning us into the preg thread I went for scan and am very happy to say everything is perfectly fine and I was worried over nothing! Apparantly placenta is anterior which is why I have barely been feeling movement, phew! Baby was a flasher too;):D

    Will need to get up in the morning, boo hiss! :cool:

    Really glad all is well and congrats on your flasher! ;)


    ETA: Sorry, OH came home in the middle of me typing that so was distracted..

    Tara, Asked to leave the dining room, why? As for the ibruprofen, I thought that was widely known to be safe for BFing? I was codeine (sp?) for a week after birth and panicked cos I read the leaflet in the box they gave me when they discharged me which said not safe for BFing and the NNU docs and nurses still said it would probably be fine and gave Rhys the milk (he was on morphine at the time anyway - doubt a tiny bit of codeine would have mattered!)

    I had to order my nursing bras from America because they don't do any in my size in this country :eek:

    Could you phone them tomorrow and talk to them? Or draft an email tonight? I've had phone and email contact with my local PALS and they've been very helpful.

    We could help you draft an email?
