Pump It Up Baby - come on.
Not sure if it was what Elvis Costello was singing about but...
sure is the talk of our house at the moment.
God bless the breast pump and all who sail in her.
We have two weeks off soon and the first golf game of the year beckons. Natasha and I have a monthly game against two pals where we play for the annual awarding of what has now become known as The Enzo Memorial Trophy Challenge.
If Tash stands any chance at all of taking part breats pumpage will have to take place, otherwise we will be a five ball and that, according to the R and A is illegal.
Not looking good at the moment though, with a full forty five mintues of nipple abuse producing little more than a thimble full of baby. Ouch.
Ok us boys may be stricken with an insatiable and often pathetic lust for sex, sport and chemical tasting lager for most of our lives but you girls have it damn tough.
If I had to guess I would predict that the five ball will be more like a three ball come Monday but on the udder hand maybe a more veritable flow of milk is just a mere pump or two away.
LOL.

It often takes a bit of time for the pumps to actually get results, and for some women it just doesn't work at all.
My sis-in-law had lots of problems getting started but she got there in the end.
Good luck with the Golf.

He had no trouble switching between the two. He finally came off the breast of his own accord at 11 months when he had a really bad cold and couldn't breathe when he latched on.
You're probably going to be bombarded with lots of advice on this one CLP. Just go with what feels right for you, Tash and Noah.

Pleased to hear that the blog meet went so well at the weekend. I had a quiet time with family and enjoyed the sunshine - doesn't it help improve our general mood?
Breast pumps - yuk! Had to use one when youngest was in hospital and a bit poorly but it never worked well - I found it really off-putting when strange people kept walking into the room. A bit more privacy and comfort might have helped.
'Nuff said about that - as non-parents will surely agree.

Bears, generally, have the capability of standing and walking on back legs. Different shaped muzzles and dental structure too, which indicates that most are omnivores - except pandas that are vegetarian. Like the koala.
But koalas are not bears. Winnie is though!

Breast pumps - had to use one 21 yrs ago when son and heir was a wee (7 weeks prem) baby in special care. Not an easy thing to use and this was an electric one in the hospital so very much akin to being on the farm! Only managed to stick it for a few days, but recall being told that can be enough to give your baby all the antibodies etc that they need to get from mum.

If the label states animal derivatives that means unused parts of any animal. this includes dolphins that have been caught during net fishing. Meat derivatives is stuff like faces, feet, feathers, fur and other stuff that is left over from the human meat industry.
Vegetable derivatives are no better. Often means sawdust, used as a filler to bulk the food out.

Don't wanter upset any feminists again... but yer don't see many female signalmen... sorry signal operatatives.... Probally the VERY reason... what inspired Sting ter wreet about this special female signalbox operatative!!!!

As others have said previously, no nothing about golf or breast pumps, so no comment.
It's a beautiful sunny day here in southern parts, makes one feel fandabidozy, so gonna put kettle on and sit outside with a cuppa. Apologies to those of you at work!

This is a bit wierd for me; first time in 6 years I haven't been in some eejit-infested outpost of Ireland on Paddys Day but there'll be wall-to-wall madness goin' on as we speak. I hope they've remembered to take the scaffoldin' down on O'Connell Street this year so as the floats full of massive heeds and donkeys can fit down. As opposed to St. George's Day over here, when the most entertaining spectacle in Wigan to date was when the Mayor of Wigan lit 'is fag in the wind and set fire to 'is moustache.
Any road don't be mischeivous, CLP. Don't get us lot started on the breast pumps. I well remember my titanic effort on the business end of the breast-pump in preparation for the annual Farmers' Ball, when the father-in-law walked in and took me by surprise, and got a right squirt all over 'is glasses.
The ex used to joke about how he very nearly put it in his tea; but I have to say this hazard was not nearly as tragic as the trauma I suffered when I grabbed a half-eaten Mars Bar off the shelf in the dimly-lit larder, thinking he'd eaten half and put it back. It was only when I emerged into the light and opened wide to take me second bite that I noticed the mouse teeth-marks.
Again.
AAAAAAAAARRRRRRRGGGGGGGHHHHHH!!
Ergo I was always tempted to spike 'is custard with it. But revenge is so bad for the Karma, n'est-ce pas.
OK. Am off to make some nice champ for tea. And since it is Paddy's Day, I should just tell the tale about the origin of champ, which is from County Cavan, where the people are, reputedly, careful with their pennies. Legend has it that a Cavan man, on his deathbed, asked for a last portion of his beloved Champ. However, his missus refused his request, on the grounds she was saving said champ for AFTER the funeral.

Memories of the breast pump come flooding back - oh what fun it is to be a woman! Seriously though Tash it is worth perservering if you can, and Chris would enjoy feeding Noah a bottle.
Thanks CLP for the pet food tasting last night just before we all sit down to eat but what a great sport you are.
Looking out of the window at this lovely weather, but freezing in the office with the air conditioning on - hate it...brr...

On another matter, linking 2 recent topics - I've just remembered that when I was young we had a cat who liked marmite. You didn't dare leave a plate of marmited toast unattended or she'd be there in a flash and licking it all off!

Breast feeding and pumps, well, they don't work for all but remember that Tash will not be producing massive amounts of milk in one go - Noah probably takes small regular feeds and so the milk production will be the same until about 6 weeks when it's like the proverbial fountain! In the meantime, try having Noah feed on one side ,and then attach the pump to the other. Also, make sure Tash always has a drink when feeding herself. She may need a hand to manage everything i.e. you may need to work the pump while she feeds (seriously) but hey, I'm sure you're up to the job Chris! Be patient, just because the output is small now, it will get better the more you use it. If it's not good for a few days, leave it and try again. Tash's body will control what happens. As much as the pump is designed to immitate the real thing, a woman's body is not easily fooled! Good luck to all.
