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
