someone has asked about postage to cyprus, do I say I'll send it there....

I would. Those of us in benighted Europe can't get pretty nursing bras, we have to import them.

Off to bed, let's see if I get the comfortable side of the bed or have to sleep on the sofa. I swear half our bed gives everyone the worst backache ever, we're constantly sloping off to bed really early to get the good side and if the other gets there first it's sofa time.

:mad:

The tumble drier just tripped out all the plug sockets (it does it every so often when it needs a hoover) and guess who had to crawl in the pathetically small space under the stairs to flick the switch...I ache when I do it normally, with my b00gered back I had no chance. Why on earth do they put fuse boxes in the most arkward of places??? I only want it when I can't see/need it desperately.

Off to make a hot water bottle. I managed to scald my fingers and thumb making Benjamin a bottle last night so wish me luck.

Hoping that next week is a little better than the last couple of weeks have been...I don't think I could take things getting any worse. I am not in a happy place right now

MFD.

Still around Mfd?

Info on codeine and breastfeeding here: http://www.breastfeedingnetwork.org.uk/pdfs/Analgesia_and_Breastfeeding_September_2009.pdf

There are some side effects to look out for, including drowsiness and apnea but at Benjamin's age and number of feeds now I wouldn't worry too much...

Eta, have a gentle ((hug)) from me... Know what you mean about fuse boxes, mine's right up at the ceiling in the coat cupboard... I can be found whacking in it's general direction with a broomstick if our power trips...

Sami, wierd feeding can cause breast pain if the ducts aren't getting completely drained during a feed, keep an eye out for lumpiness that could lead to blocked ducts...

Tara - it's not a bleb (funny sounding word!) I've had a few of those though !!
The pains are like inside, similar to when they're sucked dry (if anyone else gets that?)

Can you long term BFers still feel the letdown reflex? I can't, haven't done for ages and ages.. dunno if thats normal or odd :cool:

Thanks, definitely no lumpiness, I'm wondering after posting my last msg if it's linked to the fact that I don't get as full now, I still leak at every feed/when feed due but it's only a lil bit each time *shrug*

I still feel it but it's just a lil tingle now not the sharp stabby tingle it was months ago

Mfd - hope things get better for you super soon xx
