Very useful! There's an appropriate link from this link -

"It's Vegas, Baby! How to make the perfect escape to the Strip on any budget!"

Hey,never mind the baby or the nipples! Make that escape...

I started reading the article Mary, then decided that the suffering wowen should tell their husbands/fiancess/boyfriends/(girlfriends, if applicable), to be a little more gentle in thir ministrations !

I'll find me coat !!

After sitting boggle-eyed for just a second and seeing who posted it (yes, I have heard women talking when they thought there were no men around) I was very tempted to quote Charlie Dimmock who said on TV that she was going to use sticking plasters to avoid sore nipples.

I then looked at the first of three pages on the website pointed to and read:

Sore nipples are usually due to one or both of two causes:

.. the baby is not positioned and latched properly, or ..............

and decided that their definition of baby = my garden gate.

(JR - I'll join you in those yards of ale, coat or no coat )

To all the men out there, think of being kicked in the man bits, after a while the initial shock fades and you just have a low grade ache, then think that it is going to happen again in 3 to 4 hours, EVERY 3 to 4 hours for the next six months. A yard of ale (or a triple brandy) would be very welcome to dull the pain.

All of this is to give the next generation the the very best start in life,

I now have a confession to make, I never had sore nipples with any of my babies, they must have read the instructions for latching on.

I DID have the 'thousand yard stare' though.

thousand yard stare ??????

[englishangel]

It's actually a military term (or two thousand yard stare) when you are so tired you don't know if you are awake or asleep and you do things automatically. Often a prelude to post traumatic stress disorder, or post natal depression.
