I'm having a DFW baby!!

Lol Pap, you should have used it as your username! It's cute

Although the meeting at school was crappy, I did come away feeling quite positive, and I didn't feel like they were blaming us - I think they can tell how hard we are trying to improve his behaviour and concentration, plus he's a genuinely lovely boy most of the time, so they do like him and want to help.

I'm still feeling really well in myself thanks, Natasha is still throwing up a bit but not as bad now....just normal baby-milk sick! I've been a bit worried about PND because I had it last time, but I haven't had any sign of it so far. I'm a bit anxious still, and have had days where I've been a bit snappy, mainly with Stu...but that's quite normal for me anyway lol!

That gas and air is great stuff isn't it. I've already worn out one breast pump and am back to my Avent manual one now. I love it and get very obsessed with setting myself expressing targets every day!

OMG what board would you put that diary on :eek:

Mine is the Avent manual one too - an Isis I think? - I couldn't get the hang of expressing when I had Ryan, but I've got soooo much milk this time, I'm determined to get the hang of it. I've been having to express a bit before each feed so I don't drown the poor little thing, but when I tried to sit down and express properly (by hand), it suddenly stopped coming out....typical! :rolleyes:

Maybe we should start a thread on the os board 'How much have you expressed today' :rotfl:

Especially when you branch out into cheese and yoghurts...

Stu - 'What did you do today dear'
Me - 'I expressed 37 pints, separated it into curds and whey, made some gorgonzola......'

Mine's the Isis too. I couldn't do hand expressing at all but the pump is brilliant. I've got supply issues at the moment due to going back to work so I'm on this special elixir from south africa which is working- still haven't got enough to start a stash in the freezer yet though.

Oh I've heard of that stuff, it's supposed to be good, I read about it on a baby forum somewhere and a woman who was adopting took it so she could breastfeed the baby, and it worked! Wonder if it would work on men??

You know I could get the hang of the manual pump - NO GOOD at all!!

Because little legs was in the hopital though I could rent an electric one from them for £5 a week -AMAZING contraption and another Miss Daisy!!

Think the site of my boob being sucked down the tube scared OH for life though

Snaggles

Your boob being sucked down the tube?? :eek: It would have scared me too I think!

Ryan caught me trying to express earlier...think I've scarred him for life!!
