    Feelie I would hope that CC would try harder if she knows PALs have been in contact.

    Weezl or anyone that shops at the discount supermarkets - do any of them sell goats milk/cream/yoghurt? the milk is £1.34/£1.35 per litre in asda/tesco so if it works and we switch long term it's gonna be rather costly

    Also random hypothetical (currently) question, what do we think of the name Beulah (bee-u-la) for a girl?

    She phoned. Nothing she can do but she said shed phone me next week. I told her there wasn't any point and said thanks and quickly hung up. Just cannot be dealing with her at the moment. Think I'll decline any further appointments.

    Oh is going to the pub tonight so i either stay in alone or try to go out.

    Again giving up breastfeeding was mentioned.

    Feely - do 'they' want you to stop BF so you can have certain meds and or so you have less of an excuse (in their view) to leave Toby to go to apps?

    Feelie breastfeeding is incredibly important to you and if your OH can't see that he's being a muppet.

    I'll stay in with you if you like :)

    Edit: was it him or your CC who said it? Kneejerk outrage, sorry.

    meant to congratulate MFD earlier!

    Sami - being Welsh I know this as the name of many small villages in Wales including one my dads GF lives in & one I drive through to come back so I personally don't like it as a name. However, if I didn't know it as that I probably might like it!

    more purees done - sweet potato, apple & pear. ran out of pots so using plastic ice cube trays :cool: will see how they turn out (literally!), made a bread & butter pud just need to go n put tea in the oven & have a benny hill 15mins to tidy up before OH gets home.
    I've been assured no PS3 tonight but we'll see :rolleyes:

    Never seen it in Lidl sami, but don't get to Aldi very often...

    Is soya a possibility, the milk is 63p a litre which is a little better? :)

    Its mainly the medication issue. The meds they want me on cause bad drowsiness though, so I'd have to stop co-sleeping. They don't 'get' that it is much easier and much less stressful to breastfeed and co-sleep. I find it really hard when LO cries, and as things are now he is a very happy baby.

    I find the anxiety more of a barrier to getting to appointments than leaving Toby, he can go 2-3 (possibly 4) hours without a feed if I'm not around, or he is distracted.

    OH is quite supportive of the breastfeeding now, having seen nephews being bottlefed over christmas.
