I was in a really bad way and everybody here was helping to

Prop me up


Baby born 4/12/10

Wouldnt latch on

Was expressing all his milk

Finally had tongue tie dx, snipped on 21/12/10 but took him

A month to learn how to breastfeed


I has high blood pressure, readmitted when he was a day old, back and forth to mau in the first 2 weeks with problems, ended up with a ct scan for horrible neurological symptoms


Later dx with a chest infection snd urine infection - no wonder I felt so ill


With a baby 100% reliant on ebm my breast pump blew up on Xmas day!


Thank goodness for the forum ... Had several offers of loan pumps Abd at about 11pm I went put with my cost over my pjs and borrowed a pump from saffron


Honestly, it was a terrible time and thd women here, really helped to keep be going, especially at 3am when I felt so ill and alone


Wonderful place it can be, this forum

Wow, that's a year ago?! Doesn't time fly, and how amazing that you came through it all so admirably. Must be time for #5? ;-)


I agree that the support to be gained from others on this board is fantastic, and it's very much the virtual equivalent of what our mothers did (although I know my mother wouldn't begin to understand if I told her I was part of a Mum's community online!).

I remember as I was pregnant and it really made me realise that just because you have breastfed easily once the next baby can be entirely different. Well done for getting through it all!


It is amazing how much support, virtual and real, is out there now. My mum was only in her early twenties when she had me, had just moved to the outskirts of a small town 200 miles away from her family and didn't even have a phone. Apparently the weekly baby clinic visit was literally the thing she looked forward to all week. I would absolutely have gone mad...we are lucky!

    • He did mention it's share of freehold, I’d be very cautious with that. It can turn into a nightmare if relationships with neighbours break down. My brother had a share of freehold in a flat in West Hampstead, and when he needed to sell, the neighbour refused to sign the transfer of the freehold. What followed was over two years of legal battles, spiralling costs and constant stress. He lost several potential buyers, and the whole sale fell through just as he got a job offer in another city. It was a complete disaster. The neighbour was stubborn and uncooperative, doing everything they could to delay the process. It ended in legal deadlock, and there was very little anyone could do without their cooperation. At that point, the TA6 form becomes the least of your worries; it’s the TR1 form that matters. Without the other freeholder’s signature on that, you’re stuck. After seeing what my brother went through, I’d never touch a share of freehold again. When things go wrong, they can go really wrong. If you have a share of freehold, you need a respectful and reasonable relationship with the others involved; otherwise, it can be costly, stressful and exhausting. Sounds like these neighbours can’t be reasoned with. There’s really no coming back from something like this unless they genuinely apologise and replace the trees and plants they ruined. One small consolation is that people who behave like this are usually miserable behind closed doors. If they were truly happy, they’d just get on with their lives instead of trying to make other people’s lives difficult. And the irony is, they’re being incredibly short-sighted. This kind of behaviour almost always backfires.  
    • I had some time with him recently at the local neighbourhood forum and actually was pretty impressed by him, I think he's come a long way.
    • I cook at home - almost 95% of what we eat at home is cooked from scratch.  But eating out is more than just having dinner, it is socialising and doing something different. Also,sometimes it is nice to pay someone else to cook and clear up.
