    Brilliant news turtle - I'm so pleased so many things have gone in your favour and that they are backdating your pay. Does your employer not have to pay some of your legal costs though if you won? It'll be a pain waiting until the end of November, but it'll be a good bonus to have right on top of Christmas. :)

    Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things.

  • Well done turtle, hopefully your life will become a lot less stressful now, sounds like you have been through a lot.

    I tried to espress yesterday after feeding Niall and only got a couple of drops, worried that I am drying up. I am going to try again tonight.

    It could be that niall is becoming so much more efficent at feeding laura that hes not leaving you much left to express! Its rare for your milk to dry up if you are feeding on demand.

    Oops, gotta go!

  • Laura .. I've only been expressing since the weekend and despite trying every day I'm still not getting loads. I had 0.5oz first try, then 1oz for a couple of days.. Managed 2oz off other breast the day after .. And it's gone back to 1oz today :-(
    I asked breast feeding adviser today and she suggested trying twice daily.. I've just been pumping first thing in morning.
    Have u been pumping whilst feeding on other breast? I think it was Turtle that suggested that to me.. U need to get yr hormones tricked into thinking yr feeding baby when pumping (or at least I think that was reason)
  • Thanks everyone, had a KFC and a beer to celebrate! :beer:


    Jedi, please dont feel disheartened or worried, qhow much you express is NOT an indicator of how much you make at all.

    The article is good but I also recommend that website in general, there's some really useful information on there.
  • Is anyone in touch with dizzi? I have been thinking about her and her profile says she hasn't logged on since she said she was going. I hope she is ok.

    I was thinking about her the other day too. Is she a facebooker? I am not so unsure if she is in the 'group'?

    Hope she is ok too.
