Ah, didn't know that about the green poo - but I'm sure everything will be ok. The boys used to produce all sorts of multi coloured poos - espacially when we were weaning and they ate carrots!

The worst was the dog when he ate Frolics dog food - lets just say it was almost glowing!! (and I don't mean the dog!)

I'm really losing the plot - I read that as your boys ate the dog food.....

Hahahaha, thanks for that....it made me laugh and then do one of those snotty half laughing, half crying noises lol. I'm so anxious about everything at the moment, I don't know what's wrong with me. Every time I pick her up I'm terrified I'm going to drop her, or break her, and I worry about every little thing - it's much harder than it looks, this parenting business, isn't it? How come everyone else makes it look so simple and natural?

Oh, in case you're not online tomorrow, hope you have a fantastic birthday, whatever you end up doing.

wet trout :rotfl: :rotfl:

The people who make it look easy and natural are normally the worst hit or the best at putting on a brave face. Take me for example... I've always been told that I'm amazing with children and a great mum.. yet when I'm on my own I'm a paranoid depressed freak who gets wound up and upset over everything.... appearances can be decieving and at the end of the day all that matters is that you love and provide for your baby. They're bloody hard work and I've always found the best thing is to muddle through as best you can and give yourself a pat on the back or a slap when you need it. Don't worry.. we've only got another 18 yrs left then we can pack them off to Uni and get wasted.

oh and I'll be online tomorrow. My mate is having the girls and Ste's at work so I'll be spending my birthday-day on my own feeling sorry for myself. Great.

Snaggles

Well, we'll have an online birthday party then - I know it's Monday but any excuse eh?

The muddling through thing is so true - I've been worrying so much about feeding, I'm probably doing both of us more harm than good.

I get stressed out if I have to go anywhere, because I can't breastfeed in public (I get embarrassed and Natasha isn't exactly discreet - she'll have a bit, and then fling her head back and expose me to anyone who happens to be in the vicinity), so I try and time any trips around feeds, but then it never quite works out and she ends up screaming blue murder in the middle of Asda or something.

Or my Mum and Dad will come round and then she'll need feeding while they're there, so I'll say I'm taking her upstairs to feed her, and they'll say 'it's okay, we're only stopping another ten minutes', so I try and wait until they go, but try explaining to a 3 week old baby that they'll have to wait ten minutes.....

I end up so stressed that I'm getting ratty with everyone, especially Stu - although he did deserve it tonight lol!

I'm just rambling now aren't I.......quick, give me another slap.....

With a trout or without?

Snaggles

Ahh, no....the trout is being reserved for my Mum next time she tells me I wont be able to breastfeed because she couldn't.....

*zippy*

Hi Snaggles have you tried draping a shawl over yourself when feeding, it does give you some privacy when out. One of mine used to think I was here to feed her 24 hours a day, as soon as I sat down she would start the open mouth give me boob NOW frantic nuzzle, we once went looking for a new sofa and you can imagine the fuss she made every time I tried one out

Snaggles

That's a good idea about the shawl, I did think about dragging a poncho thingy out of the back of the wardrobe but it's been too hot to wear anything like that for the last few days.

Natasha head butts me when she's hungry, and then tries to suck through my top....and when she realises it wont work, she growls! She's like a little wild animal lol.

She's just gone off to sleep, she's still sleeping quite well at night bless her - it's just me that can't sleep!

I used to drape Krystal's little blaket over me when I was breast feeding in public.

Snaggles

I put Natasha's blanket up at the passenger window and fed her in the car park, which was okay, but it might be easier just to cover both of us up. Although I'm a bit worried about her overheating because it's so warm at the moment. I'll just have to get hubby to put his car air conditioning onto the 'arctic circle' setting for a bit lol.
