gisi I thought the same the first time I looked at it shh

elle - I'm not sure you should watch OBEM tonight, I'm not sure I should be either atm!

Fishcake the best advice I can give is to get in a nice warm bath, either make it nice n deep so your boobies are in the water or take 2 flannels in to dip in the water and pop on them, this will set them of leaking and make you more comfortable - ahhh blissful, non hard boobies, relaxing bath, peace and quiet :cool: when you are at that point close one's eyes and think long and hard about what BFing means to you and decide do you want to try throw everything at it and try super hard to make it work or are you happy to stop now and switch to formula.
When you decide come back here and we'll either tell you what to do/where to go to find BF/pumping help or we'll tell you what you need and how to formula feed.

The reason I say this is if we all say just FF it's fine (which it is) yadda yadda but it's not really what you want it's not actually going to help because you'll be stuck with the guilt that takes a lot of working to get rid off.
Much love to you honey x

I either pop them in a jug of hot water or pop them in the microwave. If you heat in micro, take the top off and unscrew teat bit so you are just putting the actual bottle in.
How long it takes to heat them will depend on the temperature of the milk to start with and the amount of milk in the bottle.

If I am heating a 7oz bottle from the fridge it needs a minute in the micro but today I reheated 3ozs of room temp so gave it 20secs.

Just test it on your wrist or back of your hand - if it's too hot run it under the cold tap for a bit.

Ok thanks guys

I am learning to ignore the instructions on the packet lol

Will watch OBEM in +1... maybe

You asked us to tell you not to watch it, lovely xxx

Hello chopsticks, stranger!

Tara it'll be ok.

Fishcake and KOAG, plus the other new mummies, it gets easier, I promise.

Anyway, I am now off to bed, won't get a chance to be on in the morning so am saying goodbye for now and happy week to you all!!

Can someone please keep a list of important events for my return?

Baby stirring, goodnight and talk soon xxx

I'm just reading back a bit and have seen the posts about Pixi-Photo.

Ours is inside Mothercare and they charge £12 for an 8x10 photo or for two 7x5 photos (although the 7x5 ones have to be the same pose). Are they franchises? Maybe that's why the prices vary so much <would insert confused smiley here if there was one>

they must be cos theres quite a difference, £12 seems very reasonable!! yeh the one i went to today you could get 2 7by5s, but that was £30 and had to be the same pic, which is quite annoying, would be helpful if you could have diff pics, do you get one free pic per sitting with yours?

Elle, don't watch it, I don't. It's too sad.

EA- I meant to say on my earlier post but if you want to share your BF concerns on here then someone might be able to help, and even if not then you might feel better having talked about it. Big hugs to you and Lily anyhow :kisses3:

Thank you everyone

I would love to have a bath right now but I'm afraid I can't. I have an abcess on my back that is draining and as I had a c-section it meens cross infection is a big risk.
It is a catch 22 thing really do I give up on BF and concentrate on getting well and being at my best for Anya or risk staying ill for longer and struggling on?
I'm so lucky my OH is really suportive but hes taking more and more on and I feel I'm missing out on her first days being so tired and poorly. All I do is feed her really.

You'll learn to ignore the instructions for most things and just go with what you think is best for YOUR baby.
Same goes for you FR.

Try and get 5 minutes to just sit down and really think about what YOU think is best for you, Anya and OH.
Wahtever you choose, we are all here to offer advice and hugs
Your OH sounds wonderful :A Mine did nothing at all and even to this day has probably only changed 6 nappies in over 6 months!

Anya is a lovely name BTW
