Or earplugs. lol

I used to sleep with them in all the time before Max and I had very good sleep. The boys are all away at my dad's place for a week atm, and last night was the first night in 18 months I'd been able to sleep with them in.

It was bliss. I woke after a lazy sleep in feeling refreshed and happy.

I honestly don't know how mothers (parents) manage when they go for weeks without a good sleep. I would go absolutely psycho. You have my utter admiration.

Yeah I know mate. I actually think there just may have been times Bruce has been pretty irritated with my presence.

BTW lactation consultant family member is off in Timor somewhere spreading the word about her "train the baby in biomechanical feeding techniques that suit both mother and baby". I wonder how she's going.

You know, just having those emails from her and you really helped me. not in the way people would expect, but it just gave me that little bit of a push to just keep trudging on and waiting for the light to shine through.

I don't know if I've ever thanked you for your help casi, but it was so lovely of you to care. xox

You did thank me and I'm really, really glad it helped.

Said relative is really enthusiastic about what she does and it never occurred to me until your post that what is basically her life's passion could be useful to someone or that feeding could become such an all encompassing issue. Having talked to you and a couple of other friends who had babies while I was off in biggest copper mine in the world land has given me a bit more of an awareness of the issues.

I get buffetted pretty easily by small things and other people caring has made all the difference to me on any number of occasions, so if I can return the favour, then I try to.
