Hello, I'm Debi, a mum of 4!
Just a quickie about the breastfeeding thing - if he will take breastmilk from a bottle and you want to get out for a bit but having trouble expressing, a little juggling is needed (maybe help from hubby or mum) but you tend to express more and quicker if you express from one breast as you feed from the other. I know this sounds like a real chore, but the first time you try it just make sure you have lots of extra hands to either hold baby in position while you express or vice versa (depends on how shy you are lol!)
And don't worry about not having enough milk, your body will always produce exactly what baby needs and he will never go short, but obviously the more you express, the more you produce.
Also, if somebody else is planning on feeding him for you (ie hubby) wear one of his t-shirts for a little while, then get him to wear it when he feeds baby as this will then smell like you and he'll think you're feeding him anyway!
Any more advice, feel free to ask.
Good luck, lots of love Debi ***.
p.s. my best friend is also a breastfeeding counsellor if more in-depth advice is needed.
