I think I read somewhere that 6 months is the recommended time to let the body recover?

The main reason I won't have one soon (I could deal with the pain I think) is that a lot of women lose thier milk while BF'ing and I want Toby to BF for as long as he wants.

I'd feel terrible if Toby had to wean at 8 months or so, and then I fed next baby till 2+.

I only BF Chris exclusively for 4 days
That's why I hidc EBM in his choccy milk :D

Hiya ladies,,,well i have made the move to the other side,,,
i gave birth to my baby girl Taija on 09,09,09 at 6.13 pm,,,weighing 7lb 3 oz,,,
its so nice to see some of the old faces from the preg thread

YAY :T:T:T:T:T:T:T
COngrats hun - glad to see someone got the funky date of birth!

Well, my little man went down at 11pm, woke at 2.30am and then slept until 7.30am :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D He then went back down while Mummy has been doing housework ready for IL's coming for the whole weekend :eek:, has had a shower and now not only does she look human according to OH looks 'pretty fit' too! Jack is now sunbathing on our bed!

Weezl - I would love to have another one quite close to Jack (ha, she says after just one week :rotfl:) but will depend on finances me thinks.
When I go back to work we will just about manage as long as we are both working full time (if OH doesn't get a proper job, then he will be a SAHD )

Right, just waiting for the MW to come and then the IL's

Oh and Jack's umbilical cord looks like it's gonna drop off any minute _pale_

MM - hope your feeling a bit better

Elle - hope u got some sleep

I think that is a great thing. I don't think you should feel bad. For me, I always wanted to BF, so I'd feel bad if I didn't for the selfish reason of having another baby. Hope that makes sense?

MY reason for not wanting one this soon is that I don't personally think the body is built for it or ready for it this soon after a baby - especially if BFing but also generally... If you don't give your body a chance to recover then I don't think you give the baby the best chance you can. But that's as always my personal view

I know you didn't intend it this way Tine, but I think I need to withdraw from that debate. I feel too vulnerable and sensitive right now to feel that any of my parent club friends feels I am not giving my new baby the best start.

I felt very tearful when I read that, and feel, on reflection that I shouldn't discuss it if I am vulnerable to the response. You spoke about your pregnancy being hard, so I hope you will be able to understand my need to look after myself and my feelings a little. Sorry.

it makes total sence I wonder how the hormones of BFing affect pregnancy; if they make sickness more or less likely? :think:
I feel guilty all the time about not 'doing better' for Chris and then I also feel that I should have done the same with Ed I feel like I'm playing favourites :undecided

yes lets!!!

I would love to have more - other than the GD I had a pretty straightforward pregnancy and a fantastic delivery with Jack (I am sure the calcium played a huge part in the pain relief by the way so thanks for that!).
