I am still breastfeeding my 9 month old - and had weaned him to just have a morning and evening feed - but in the last week he has been asking for more milk during the day and eating less solids because he has been v coldy. I have been letting him feed a bit more during the day because he was so off his solid foods. Then yesterday i started feeling all fluey and ropey - went to bed shivering and think i was running a temperature during the night. This happened to me another time about 2 months ago - again just after my son had needed extra milk for a few days cause he was teething. Is this something thats happened to anyone else? Does producing extra milk make you feel rubbish? Both times the symptoms were v similar - bout 24 hours of feeling achey and slightly feverish and really tired!

Are your boobs hot at all? Not like that, I'm sure you're gorgeous ;) I mean hot to touh or engorged or sore? Could be the onset of mastisis- I'd call your GP asap- you don't want to mess about when it comes to that! Or it could be a cold from the baby- have you heard of passage?- apparently when adults catch vitals etc from children, it's always a lot worse as the virus mutates to be a bit more aggressive. Or so my Mum says.

Milk fever ... What I think of as this fluey feeling fro

Rapid production, like in the first few weeks


I have normally got through by drInling plenty, hot shower, extra feeding or pumping


Nurofen though not sure it's recommended now when bf


If you do notice a hard lump visit the gp or if it doesn't go away, the fever xx

      Excellent Christmas meal at Franklins!

      thanks Jenijenjen and all - yes, i remember walking or taking the bus from the elephant (where i was working) to Camberwell to get there.  I think Tim - who's still at Franklin's -  was there in those days, and the woman who ran the cafe!  Other food places that i remember fondly are the ones in Neal's Yard (with the Hunkin sculpture that you could put a coin in ) and the basement lunch place at the Tottenham Court Road junction with Hanway Street...

      Did you try the emergency number posted above? It mentions lift breakdowns over the festive period outside the advertised  times. Hope you got it sorted x

      Be careful in local shops

      By Sue · Posted

      People working in shops should not be "attempting to do the bill in their head." Nor if questioned should they be  trying to "get to an agreeable number." They should be actually (not trying to) getting to the correct number. I'm afraid in many cases it is clearly more than incorrect arithmetic. One New Year's Eve in a restaurant (not in East Dulwich but quite near it) two of us were charged for thirty poppadoms. We were quite merry when the bill came, but not so merry as to not notice something amiss. Unfortunately we have had similar things happen in a well established East Dulwich restaurant we no longer use. There is also a shop in East Dulwich which is open late at night. It used not to display prices on its goods (that may have changed). On querying the bill, we several times found a mistake had been made. Once we were charged twice for the same goods. There is a limit to how many times you can accept a "mistake".  There is also a limit to how many times you can accept the "friendly" sweet talking after it.

      Bitey Fox.

      Adapted not forced.  As have numerous species around the world.  Sort of thing that Attenborough features.  Domestic dogs another good example - hung around communities for food and then we become the leader of the pack.  Not sure how long it will take foxes to domesticate, but some will be well on their way.    Raccoons also on the way https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c1j8j48e5z2o
