thanks smelly and morv. think will try and chat to them at nursery this week. she's not taking much ebm from them, so they'll prob be glad to offer her something else. she's only there a max of 5hrs, so wont be dying of starvation if she takes nowt at all. you have to provide the food, so a wee tub with some steamed carrot or something? and reassurance++ re the gagging thing? I still wear nursing bra at night for comfort and leak protection. the poor bra is quite exhausted...anyone ever managed to popper their nips into said unsubtle flaps? they seem a bit scary to me.
