Hey everyone:
Girls I have to say like Booth said you are all a great support for the BF - if by some chance I can manage to go without meds (unlikely but I can live in hope eh) and I am BF I will definitely come on here, you are all brill.
Heidi: I went to work laughing this morning think of your OH expressing your milk - fair play to him LMFAO lol - You can definitely do the breastfeeding.
Shiv: Our routine is we get Natasha washed and changed for bed, then she sits on one of our knees and has her bottle and some quiet time and then we brush her teeth and get her into her sleeping bag and then both kiss her goodnight and she goes down. I know a bottle is not an option for you, but maybe a drink from her cup on one of your knees and maybe a massage like Booth said is an idea so as you it can be some close time instead of the BF for the moment. I'm so sorry you are going through this and maybe she does have a touch of the bug you had too and is just feeling off - Natasha was like that for the last week and a half - mainly because of her cold, but we had loads of crying and not eating and not sleeping for a few days even before the cold - so I'm putting it down to either teeth or she just didn't feel well as she was coming down with the cold. I really hope tomorrow is better and that you are also feeling better.
Regarding teeth - I wondered how everyone knew LO's were getting back teeth too as Natasha never lets us have a proper look to see, I am only guessing she is getting a back tooth as she has the 8 front ones and has all the teething symptoms, dribbling, biting on everything, really bad nappies and a sore bum (which my mam says is a typical teeth bum because their pee and poo becomes more acidy) - she did manage to let me put my hand into today and I could feel little lumps on the bottom of her gum on one side, so I think that is the culprid.
Natasha sometimes kneels and then bends over like a triangle and looks through her legs, it is so funny to watch, I think it is just experimenting with the way they can move, her latest thing is crawling between our legs if we are standing in her way rather than going around us lol
Kim: Natasha has been getting loads and loads of finger food since she was about 7 months old and at first she missed her mouth more than she was getting in - It will come to him, it just takes practice. Like the girls were saying I would leave him too it and not fuss over him. If Natasha is having a fussy day and is not eating and I hover, she tends to play up and start throwing it around, where as if I put down all her food in front of her and just potter around the kitchen doing my few bits, she just gets on with it when she is not getting attention. I wouldn't worry about people thinking you haven't thought him how to eat properly or have manners as that will come in time when he is older, at this stage they love to experiment and play games with it at the start, think of it from his point of you, it is all new colours and textures.
Spidey: Hope the prunes are still working.
Samstar: Hope you are feeling a bit better and your DH has grown up a bit today.
Nutty: Good luck with the tatoo.
Cleck: Hope your cold is better today. lol at Emma eating like a dog, I was cooking the other day and Natasha was crawling around the kitchen floor and I spilled a tiny bit of flour and she lay down on the floor and started licking it up, it was so funny.
Booth: Hope Jessie is feeling better after those jabs, Is that the last ones now in the UK. the last ones here are 13 months but it is the PCV and Men C - she had her mmr at 12 months.
Well AFU: Natasha still has this cold and is due for her last jabs tomorrow but I'm going to cancel - she is nearly over it but I dont want to chance it. My mam said that they normally do them with a cold and it is only if they have an infection or temp that they dont. But I know the jabs bring down their immune sysmems so I dont want her to end up really sick when she already has a cold, so I think I will leave it for another week.
Good news is she finally slept last night and tonight there hasn't been a peep from her since she went down so fingers crossed, that phase is over.
I also agree with Spidey's suggestion of using a carrier. Do you have a carrier like a moby wrap or anything like that? If you have to chase after Caylee, a carrier would probably be the best thing in the world for you because you can feed Lily and walk around at the same time. 
I am very confident that if you just stick with it, the milk will come back and things will be back on track. 
I think the help is out there but it takes some serious effort sometimes to find it. If I were you Boothh, I'd seek out the local LLL when you are pregnant with your next baby so you can be super prepared and have that support available even before you have the baby. I've never personally went to a LLL meeting but I've heard some really good things about them.
You really are doing amazing! Don't ever think otherwise. 
It was to another forum so that is probably why. 
@ Natasha licking up the flour. That sounds exactly like Emma. She does some really weird things sometimes. I can't help but laugh but it makes me worry a bit that there's something actually wrong with her.
