Currently feeling guilty since she's due for a feed but not asking yet so am eating some brekkie myself first.

Don't feel guilty - if she's not asking, then she's happy. You need to look after yourself too

Fluffnutter - Congratulations!! I'm afraid I can't offer any advice but I'm sure someone will be along soon who can

Gilly - thanks for the info on the highchair going to have a look in a bit.

Lansinoh? and air, let them get aired, also putting breast milk on them will help rub it in before a feed x

I do not understand how 1 little man can cause so much destruction. :eek:

Yep, definately try the lansinoh. You will need to warm it up a bit first, as it is pretty solid otherwise! Pop a bit on after a feed, no need to wipe it off before feeding again, its safe for LO's. Also pop some on after a shower/bath.
Other than that, just keep feeding, your nipples will get used to it. Do check your latch though, worth popping along to a breastfeeding clinic or asking your HV about peer advisors. Really sore nipps can be a sign of a not quite right latch. LO needs a nice open wide mouth before going on so he doesnt just have the end of a nipple in his mouth, He needs some Aureloa (sp) as well.

Congrats fluffnutter! Hope they feel a bit better after Gilly and Kiras advice.

Sammie, we havent joined the library yet but might do in a few weeks, my niece and nephew are so would be nice to go together.

You motovated me to do our back lawn Sammie, put monkey in his bounce about and he thought it was great watching the birds!! Hes napping atm so might continue and do some ironing.

Cutting the lawn is a job I dread at the best of times!! I bet your little man had great fun!! Noah just slept whilst I did mine!!
