    I think it can 'help' if people can just accept that not everyone WANTS to BF. Not CAN'T.

    Nothing could have persuaded me to BF because I didn't want to.

    Thanks CSH. Can I be even more nosey and ask why you didn't want to? I admire you for your honesty about not wanting to - I get the impression that most women don't want to admit that.

  • elle, I told Chris last night I was going to try Dylan on weetabix this morning, and he finished the box last night before he went to bed !! So he had to have blueberry porridge instead which he loved !!

    I should still buy it though shouldn't I? I mean her fringe is in her face a bit but she still looks cute.


    ARGH.

    I bought all DD's. They mostly live in a drawer tho :o

    She does look cute!I think its a nice photo.
    But then, other people don't see photos the same way Mummy does cos Mum knows if its a real smile or not!

    Nothing, just didn't want to. The thought of it makes my toes curl.

    Buttons how much are they? Maybe if your really not happy with it get a photo shoot done for her or spend the same on an outfit she wants and if your good with a camera take some yourself and their then her 'school' piccies?

    Your own mix, or the C&G Apple and Blueberry 7mth one? We have some of that in the cupboard but I'm trying to use up all the 4mth stuff (making it really thick) first - how very MSE ;) In fact, I was thinking if giving porridge for pud cos Rhys seems to have gone off yoghurt (too thin, I think).

    Ooooh, don't start me on BF czars - Andrew could have been home at least a week earlier if someone had taken me aside and said "Actually there's nothing wrong with bottle-feeding EBM, and even bottle-feeding formula - why don't you give that a go instead of stressing about BF and beating yourself up when it doesn't work?" [Admittedly he'd have been home on oxygen then, but at least he'd have been home!]

    I really felt like the NICU nurses had a "target" to reach in terms of discharging babies as BF, I had to insist on trying Andrew on a bottle instead.

  • buttons, I think the photo is beautiful !!
    Our school does crap photos one year, and then we get proper professional ones the next !!

    Means you can have one every year if you really want to, but get extra gorgeous ones every other !!

    This was Jasmines last year :D
