Hey ladies!

Just a quick update.  Still have the breaSt abscess and going to hospital weekly. I've been off ABs for two weeks and so far no symptoms. I'm back tomorrow so will see what they say. They've been unable to drain anything from it.

I feel about 10,000 times better. My best friend came for coffee today and said she couldn't believe how much better I looked. Said she'd never seen me so unwell.

I've managed to get rid of the nipple shields- she was sucking my nipples through the top! OUCH! I was so anxious getting rid of them in case my nipples ended up cracked and sore again but thank goodness I've been fine and feeding is going great. We'd a huge growth spurt last week but back to normal this week. The baby has been slow to put on weight although I'm not concerned at all. She's very alert and smiley etc. Plus she put on 8oz last week.


But thanks so so much for all your support and advice and cheering on. Meant so much and really encouraged me xxx

So pleased to hear you're feeling better and that BF is going well. You really are amazing!

Hope you can get the abscess cleared up soon xx

How are your older two doing? Just realised you have pretty much the same age LOs as my friend, whose 5 yo seems to be having a little trouble adjusting to the new arrival..

:) :)

DS bit me last week and cut my nipple a bit and it was painful but likely nowhere near what you went through. I was thinking of what a superstar you are every time I cringed during nursing!

Awesome! I just can't believe it's still hanging around in there!! Fingers crossed it's reduced or something when you get it checked..
