Wow - I can't believe that some of you have themes for wrapping - I'm so impressed. I'm doing well if I manage to use Christmas wrapping paper. I thought I did well getting some posh (well, posh for me!) shiny wrapping paper from M&S last year, but I couldn't actually get the sellotape to stay on it! Oh well, cheap stuff for me again this year

Santa has to have different wrapping paper from the gifts from us

I LOVE wrapping gifts and have to do all the trimmings too! A few years ago I did everyone's Christmas gifts in brown paper with simple rustic string instead of ribbon and postage labels instead of tags (the old fashioned type) and everyone was so excited by the wrapping they didn't want to open the gifts :rotfl::rotfl:

Another year I used proper ribbon rather than the shiny stuff, which also went down a treat!

I was scouting for paper in Tesco today but it needs to be something that is 'right' so I have to look everywhere first :j:j

*is all excited*

Well done freebie for perservering with the bfing and good that you got him to take an expressed bottle, def gives you a break even if for 20 mins. I am trying to express but only did 2oz this morning when he only took one side as think need to keep up my energy as still struggling to eat, is odd re sides as I seem to find my left side easier for him to latch onto and also seem to get a lot more from expressing this side. Cute photo kk xx

Thank you it was indeed a gorgeous photo KK


It takes time to express a lot, and TBH I only started getting a decent amount when Benjamin dropped his 10pm(ish) feed and I continued to express at that time.

Tips for expressing at the front of the thread but don't forget to keep pumping when you think you have 'finished' to see if you can stimulate another letdown and that squeezing the base of your breast whilst pumping seems to get more out (called breast compressions but I like to explain!!!)

Do you know where in Devon WM?

My only thought would be:

Soup - served with bread?

Carbonara - which I would also serve with bread....garlic or fresh and rustic.

Sounds yummy though can I come?

Sir M, when DD had to express I got her a picture of bubs to look at, she found it really helped.

Hmm, good point, any other ideas for a starter. Just with the weather something hot would be good. X :A
