Poorly Baby

So for the first time last week I actually had a poorly little lady. I'm not sure if it was because of teething or something else, but our little lady had a slight temperature and some diahorrea. 

I have to believe that breastfeeding has made her so resilient but this really did knock her for six!  It's taken almost a week but she finally seems to be getting back to her usual self again. Though the one area there has been no improvement with is sleep. 

I am now desperate to move this little one into her own bedroom, as a full time working mummy. The lack of sleep is killing me!

Breastfeeding 

Eeeeek! So it's World Breastfeeding week and I feel the need to throw a huge thank you in the direction of a specific group of ladies. 


Breast Buddies Hull and East Riding - this ones for you! 

I'm sure you've read my backstory by now, but I can 100% guarantee that if it wasn't for these ladies, or my friend Jo, I'd have given up breastfeeding! As it stands I am 3 weeks away from Golden Boobies, which means I have Breastfed my daughter for almost 1 whole year! 

Breast Buddies is a local (to me) group of ladies who basically offer 24/7 peer support and advice as and when it's needed. You can almost always guarantee that someone will be up feeding if you're having a problem. 

It's a place to vent, it's a place to share special achievements and funny stories, but the biggest thing I have taken from this group is that it's basically a sisterhood! There is no judgement, no mummy bashing and if you choose to stop breastfeeding, people will be supportive and not angry that you're stopping. They will give you all the information from all sides so that you get to make an informed decision. 

I have found a true family here and I am so happy that I have!
