You have to take what they say with a pinch of salt, nod your head say yes in all the right places and do what you want to do and what you thinkis best for your child at the end of the day.
I know i will ween the baby when i want to but as a first time mum i was good and did what i was told. I wasn't allowed to ween ds untill he was 8 months as my hubby has Coeliac disease and ds had to have blood tests to dermine if he was the same thankfully he wasn't, he is allergic to other foods where he is violently sick like the excorist but i would have known if he was a coeliac.
there is no way if i bottle feed or mix feed at a crazy time in the middle of the night am i waiting for a bottle to cool down with a screaming baby. My sister in law really suffered and she got quite down with it but she still would believe me when i said she could have her water ready for god forbid put the bottle in the microwave. My niece is nearly 1 still on formula and she still will not warm a bottle cos that was what she was told

It is ridiculous.. I bf for months, but when we did move over to bottles I made them up in advance... I didn't microwave but heated in hot water. I don't see the prob with that and will do again once we're back to bottles!! I don't see how they can keep changing stuff so regularly, and DD was absolutely fine so will be doing bascially the same with this one.

I swear someone has found another cat the exact same one as mine, but bigger and swapped them. He's laying next to me and he's huge!!

Sympathy pains lol

Realistically speaking, the human population survived for long enough with mothers just doing what they thought was best for them and their child before all this advice was given out as gospel!

I will listen to all the advice given but I won't necessarily follow it unless I think it's right for us. I believe there's a lot to be said for a mother's instinct and goold old common sense!

Im worse with my brother, he recently started reception and turned 5. But he's still so small and has such baby like features. I was really upset lol.

OH says that, that people were doing this for years without books or regulations, etc. So whats so different now.

But i think he was referring to my wanting to buy RLT, EPO and calcium lol.

Ha ha yeah I admit I' have bought those too, and arnica! I will be taking some advice and using the benefit of other people's experiences, but the same things don't work the same for everyone so I'm just going to do what works for me!

Evansangel
