    if u look at my fb hun iv got pics of kais spots on tehre. his looked liek white heads for 3 days b4 they went red tho so i think they can come up in all sorts of different ways but blisters def sound about right.

    get eh calomine cream NOT lotion, and put bicarb int eh bath, pat down with towel then rub talc on em. they wont wna get out eh bath water coz the bicarb stops the itching but the talc really dries the spots out.

    shove a bottle under one while u feed from another... the pressure of the shells stops u leakin loads so if u put a bottle under when u feed ul drip lots lol.

    chicken pox is a hard one. she should b covered coz or ur breast milk but also coz shes less than 3 months (babies keep parents immuntiy for 3 months. that said my fieneds ds got em when he was v young so i think its jsut pot luck. its easier the youngr they r tho hun - aeryn had em at 8 months n was tonnes better than kai.

    on that note i dont suppose u want aeryn do u? she wont stop crying this afternoon n shes driving me up the wall! lol

    lol thanks hun im getting my comp back next month hopefully as its been at the manufacturers for 6 months now god knows what was up with it but you know they like to take their time ive got tonnes of lush pics of her shes fab.

    it could be its the let down thing as when shes having to come off to breathe its squirting everywhere lol its quite funny and i have to tuck a towel in my bra as when she does come off it floods everywhere i think im mass producing it dunno why but even when im feeding her off one i have to tuck a towel in the otherside as breast pads just get soaked thru its crazyness but ive recently changed my diet cuz out all choc and crisps and eatig tonnes more fruit and veg so might have summat do with that .... ive also started to feed her sitting up again after the choking incident. well shes screaming again lol so better go feed her hope your ok.... spd is a nightmare hope you aint suffering too much ((hugs)) hopefully will be on after unless bil turns up but i have your mobi no xxx

    right hun... i hope i get everything in here 4 u but bare with my preggy brain lol...

    the milk will come out of her nose and thats not a huge problem. if u fold up a towel and put it under her head when ur feeding her it will tilt her head up slightly and also catch any milk that does come out ehr nose rather than it soaking ur bed sheets. fromt eh sounds of it u have quite an over active let down (i had this with kai and he would actually have to come off and gasp for breath coz he was swallowing so fast eh couldnt breathe!) its nothin major to worry about her tho id say try n stay awake the whole time shes doin it. plus the towel under her head should stop it as much coz milk will go down with gravity. as u know hte nose and mouth are attatched so if shes not swallowing fast enough it will come out her nose lol. if u really want you can try expressing right b4 u feed her and getting the let down out of the way so she doesnt get a hude torrent of milk all at once iykwim.

    as fo rthe clicking if shes doing it whenshes having the hind milk and even with a bottel it can be one of a few things. an incorrect latch would be my 1st thought but if shes on properly it cant b that. mayb try an exaggerated latch 2 c if that fixes it, if not it could b her jaw clicking wheres shes chewing ur breast to get he hind milk out tho this is quite rare so dont panic. if its not an incorect latch then its probably her gulping and swallowing.. some babies are really noisy feeders (apparently whem my mum was feeding me ppl on the other end of the phne could hear me feeding! lol)

    glad ur still managing 2 bf hunn giime a shout if u need me. il pm u my new mob number so if u need me just gimme a shout. plus im usually on msn so c if im there as well as kai has a tendancy 2 hide my phone lol.

    i hope iv said everythign but if i havent im sorry n pester me again - iv had 2 hrs sleep coz of my spd n got killer heart burn atm lol
