P.S. I did indeed have a very nice salad last night; grilled chicken, avocado, balsamic dressing. Didn't help the mastisis but made me feel slightly more cheery.

I ended up at SELDOC this morning; my origional augmentin presctription has been lengthened to 10 days, but the doctor I saw was very reluctant to prescribe fluoxicillin, citing that augmentin is better for mastisis ( despite the BFM citing the opposite, as per WHO recommendations). Lump is not an abcess, which is good to know.

Mine went in together at 22mo and 3mo. The baby had been in with us, and then we went away to NY, where the two of gthem shared a room without any problems. When we got home, the baby moved in with our toddler. They do occasionally wake each other up, but they've both had to adapt to sleeping through me shuffling in and out to settle them throughought the night; neither of them sleep through although at the moment the baby (now 9mo) is doing better than her brother (now 2y4mo). My toddler is in a bed, baby in a cot.

Thanks everyone, for your replies. Gina, she's not feeding too well, she's well snotty and bunged up but we have had most success in the football position or in steamed up bathroom. I told Mr B about savoy cabbages, and he returned from our weekly shop with an iceburg lettuce?!?! Bless him, really. Spoke to SELDOC who said as long as my fever doesn't spike and the lump doesn't get WORSE, to continue doing as i am until tomorrow evening.

Really, apologies, because after reading this y'all going to know me a whole lot better. I have mastisis. It started around noon on Thursday, and I saw my GP and was prescribed Augmentin (3x a day, 7 day course) yesterday AM. The antibx seem to be working in the sense that I am feeling less fluey, but the lump in my boob is still there and quite tender. It's on Ol' Lefty and is quite large/widespread, starting from the just before my armpit, over the top of the areola, and back down the side of Ol' Lefty towards my ribs, if that makes sense. The lump isn't visible, and can only be felt if you push around looking for it, then it's very obvious. There is some red discoloration on my skin. It feels like porridge, rather than a hard smooth lump, which Google tells me could mean it's simply inflammation of the ducts, rather than more blocked ducts. I have tried EVERYTHING. Hot compresses, hot showers, hot baths, feeding in every position possible, expressing, massage/kneading but to no avail. It feels a bit sore and bruised, but (I think) better than it did on Thursday. Is this par for the course, or something I should be very concerned about? Do I need to call SELDOC and be given addtional antibx? Apologies if you have seen this all over facebook/twitter, my anxiety levels are through the roof when it comes to things like this.

Saffron; the font of all knowledge, as per! They're new rings, Ernest Jones' finest, defintely plated as i remember the sales lady saying something about getting them replated. Will send Mr B to north x rd tomorrow, as I am on my deathbed. Woe.

Bugger. Bet that's dead exPensive too...

Does anyone know where I could get mine and Mr B'a wedding bands (and my engagement ring) cleaned locally? After two years, they're looking a bit dull and tarnished...unlike my luuurve for Mr B (kidding, can't stand him really, he leaves the toilet seat up for god's sake...)

We have a Vax carpet cleaner and it works wonders.... Never used it myself, Mr B does all the housey/ cleaning stuff round here.

Famous last words, Lindsey...famous last words!

Ha ha, no worries, I would feel the same! Out triumph is fairly battered and is only a very part time use buggy (my IL's use it for our toddler) so if you change your mind...

I can see we obviously disagree about this, so I am not going to write anymore about my "situation". Thea, congratulations on your upcoming wedding. Amy, apologies for the massive tangent ;)

I am assuming you don't have children and haven't breastfed. They are not saying "look, don't change your baby's nappy at the table, some people find it disgusting..." they are asking me to hide myself away because some people they know are too bloody stupid to realise that, actually, boobs are for feeding babies and seeing someone breastfeed a baby isn't disgusting or rude, but natural. At least it is for us. It is so uPsetting to be belittled the way both my daughter and myself are. And if breastfeeding would ruin their day, then they shouldn't have invited me. End of.

Sorry, the bride and groom upset??? I couldn't give a flying fig! They aren't providing the room for my comfort but rather so they're other guests aren't upset by me breastfeeding. There are so many offensive things going on with the sitaution that I can't even list them! They know i am fIne feeding my baby in front of others, they know us both very well and they're family. Ha!

Privacy, perhaps. But I don't need privacy in a side-room. I have, and will continue, to feed my baby whenever/wherever and being told I must do this behind closed doors is extremely offensive. Also, if a cafe owner or whatever did that, it would be against the law. Suffice to say, I won't be scuttling off to feed my daughter, tyvm.

Lindsay, if you want to borrow one, we have a maclaren quest and triumph- triumph is the lighter one but quest reclines further and is a bit more sturdy. Not massively heavy though!

Cuppatea, I can really empathise with "breastfeeding Mums are not acceptable to most people..." I am attending a wedding which my children have been invited to and have been TOLD, not asked, that there will be a seperate room for me to nurse my daughter in. The reason? "THAT will make my guests uncomfortable". Well. Great.

I always assumed child-free weddings didn't include babies under a year who were still nursing, to be honest...

After re-reading... If you and the infants will be made to feel unwelcome, i would stay at home. Or would it be possible to bring your nanny with you to look after LO's and then you can nip off ('scuse the pun) to feed your baby as you need to?

Could have written this myself!!! If the baby is breastfed, it's ridicolous to expect you to leave them for an overnight. We are in the same position, husband is an usher, no children allowed at the wedding. Our toddler is staying with GP's overnight and I am bringing the baby with me, because Husband didn't want to go alone and their isn't a chance in hell I'd leave the baba and then express every 2hrs!!! /rant

You are not alone! 8mo old and 2yr4mo old, neither sleep through. Happy days! But , one day, they will...

Oh and rash is only ever present outside. Nose/eyes/cough present inside, worse outside though

Topical antihestimines don't make an iota of difference, poor Moo :( her rash doesn't seem to both her but the eyes/nose/ cough definitely do...

Saffron; I don't knooooooow :( I am a dunce. Watching Lex suffer like this is hellish though.
