Hi Merfe, have you tried putting a hot flannel on it? Are there any particularly sore patches or is it just the whole thing?

Would you consider putting the baby to the breast to ease the pressure?

yep thats what I was doing in the bath. It is mostly sore underneath and at the most left part. I'm not sure there is any milk there anymore, I'm not leaking now and wouldn't want to stimulate them to go through it again, they are not solid anymore. The nipple is very very sensitive but not sore as such.

Hi Merf and Strawberrypud sounds like you both need a hug. And Hugs to all the poorly littlies too. It is definitley the time of year for it.

I'm a bad mummy today. Izzy has had nuttella and marzipan sandwiches for tea. She did have a very healthy lunch at my parents though, and it's not as if she eats that kind of meal every day

It's more than likely going to be blocked ducts... A tight fitting bra could have caused it, the fact they're soft and not leaking doesn't always mean there's no milk there... Keep trying with the warm flannels and pain killers, make sure your bra doesn't cut in anywhere and if it doesn't ease up or gets worse or you get fluey symptoms then get yourself down to the Dr...

Ladybird, I have never had that particular mix in a sandwich, but I definitely think I need to try it!!!

Krystal I got to try the bit she didn't want and it was yummy. She was originally going to have just nutella, but she found a block of marzipan in the cupboard (I buy it in blocks, and we have little bits until it runs out instead of having sweets ) and I had a brainwave

I bet it's nice grilled too...

I should totally buy blocks of marzipan more often

I hate marzipan, it stinks

Keira regularly eats nutella on toast, do you know its one of your 5 a day

Yesterday in fact, we were having a free spoon nutella sesh on the sofa watching toy story 3, very very easy to eat a whole jar IMO

Hmmm OH was going to go to sainsburys but I would have though he'd be back by now! Not a good sign, he's probably got carried away in the baby clothes aisle again :rotfl:

Buttons if you think to poorly kids are bad try 3 when they're all vomiting _pale_ haven't had that to deal with for a while though.

Nutella is amazing spread thickly on rich tea biscuits, or hobnobs, or just about anything

Well I've been to the doctors today with the concusion that they don't know why I'm falling over. Probably jus because I'm a clumsy old bu99er :rotfl: Got to go back tuesday after blood test to do more funny little tests and see if bloods are ok

Is £1 cheap for a block? I noticed in Netto today they had ready to roll marzipan and royal icing packs for about £1, they also had lots of Hello Kitty bits n bobs if thats of use for Aimee...

Marzipan is disgusting btw
