oh my  i went to see my neice yesterday who had her first baby  8 weeks ago. i had been to the hospital but so busy working yesterday was the first day i could catch up since she got home. well i nursed little nicola and i held her in my arms for a while. my neice was telling me that her arms are sore from nursing her in her arms as she now weighs 5 kilos. my children are men 24 and 27 . i couldnt  fathom that her arms were sore until i got home and my arm wouldnt stop aching!!! my how soon we forget !!!  i enjoyed the experience as we are a large family and i used to change nappies from 8 years old when my first neice was born. it just came naturally to me !!! cheers annie
