I am still breastfeeding my 9 month old - and had weaned him to just have a morning and evening feed - but in the last week he has been asking for more milk during the day and eating less solids because he has been v coldy. I have been letting him feed a bit more during the day because he was so off his solid foods. Then yesterday i started feeling all fluey and ropey - went to bed shivering and think i was running a temperature during the night. This happened to me another time about 2 months ago - again just after my son had needed extra milk for a few days cause he was teething. Is this something thats happened to anyone else? Does producing extra milk make you feel rubbish? Both times the symptoms were v similar - bout 24 hours of feeling achey and slightly feverish and really tired!

Are your boobs hot at all? Not like that, I'm sure you're gorgeous ;) I mean hot to touh or engorged or sore? Could be the onset of mastisis- I'd call your GP asap- you don't want to mess about when it comes to that! Or it could be a cold from the baby- have you heard of passage?- apparently when adults catch vitals etc from children, it's always a lot worse as the virus mutates to be a bit more aggressive. Or so my Mum says.

Milk fever ... What I think of as this fluey feeling fro

Rapid production, like in the first few weeks


I have normally got through by drInling plenty, hot shower, extra feeding or pumping


Nurofen though not sure it's recommended now when bf


If you do notice a hard lump visit the gp or if it doesn't go away, the fever xx

    • I had a leaky toilet cistern and Niko came out the same day and not only fixed the leak but thoroughly cleaned off the years of calcium build-up. His attention to detail was matched by his kind humanity. The result was a completely renovated toilet which has never worked more efficiently as well as 'service with a smile'. MANY THANKS NIKO!!!  
    • I am trying to find out about people's experiences of the 4+ and 7+ assessments. I am a teacher and have a wealth of experience tutoring for theses assessments (including my own son), but it's always good to keep on top of things as they always make tweaks to them. TIA!

    • "You have no idea why"   To be fair Sue, it's blindingly obvious to anyone who has a conversation with anyone who isn't a Corbyn supporter. And even some who liked Corbyn (like me initially) found him somewhat flaky even at his most popular But let's say you are right and I have NO idea why anybody might not vote for him. They still didn't vote for him. He lost two elections. The second one badly (and strongly predicted but the stubborn old goat wouldn't budge so we we were stuck with Johnson and another 3 million PMs in the 5 years that followed) So even with ZERO evidence, we have our eyes and ears and brains But we do have evidence   https://yougov.co.uk/politics/articles/27022-their-own-words-why-voters-abandoned-labour
