MSE Parents Club Part 10

i just started reading back from this mornings posts and see there was talk of BF and FF. i had to stop reading as i started crying as i still have major issues in the fact that i couldn't breastfeed LO (i did express - solely for about 6 weeks and then she was having any amount of milk i could get until about 4 months).

i dont think i can put down my 'story' as such because i will get upset, but i really wish women didn't have to felt guilt for choosing/wanting to do either.

i know the bottom line is as long as bubs is being feed and putting on weight well and mum is fine, then that is what is important (okay, i couldn't and probably still dont fully take my own advice on this but i know i should).

I'm sorry it made you cry. The bit of what you said I've highlighted in bold seemed to be pretty much the general consensus.

AF - I have guilt that I have fertility issues, we all have guilt over something - please don't beat yourself up, you have to do what's best for you and DD.

All us mums we can do is our best.

Sami - OMG at poor Sophie!!!! and yes I would be up for a meet at the Lowry on the 7th April!


Feeding - I agree with what MFD wrote in that the women I have met that BF mums do come across as thinking they are better than FF women and it really gets my goat!
FF is NOT Easy and I think Money Maker & Mel summed it up brilliantly with knowing which teat to use, which milk etc etc. Another point is the hassle with sterilising bottles and the fact that if baby has a growth spurt and wants feeding loads in the night and you run out of bottles you are sterilising and making up feeds at 4am! A lot easier if you can just BF.
If it wasn't for all of you on here I really would have struggled with feeding J sometimes - you get so much info on BF 'latching', 'positioning' etc and nothing on FF 'when to change teats', 'when to change milk' etc.

Next time I'm not even going to try BF - due to my surgery it won't happen anyway but even if I hadn't had the surgery I don't want to spend the first 5 days of my baby's life stressing over BF and then cup-feeding formula top ups so that baby doesn't get teat confusion.

Jillie - Burger King is so wrong! Give me KFC!!!

Sent OH a very 'deep' text message today as we always argue when we talk so he knows how I feel know so hopefully things will change. BIL is out tomorrow night so it's MY NIGHT and we can cuddle up on the sofa!

Had the Reggae Reggae Sauce tonight - OMG it is sooooo spicy!!! But OH said it was nice and didn't moan about the chicken

As I'm going to be quite busy soon I'm probably not going to have time to catch up every night so
if anyone wants me for anything please type 'glam' into your post and I will find it when I come on!

i kinda posted my 'thoughts' and ran this morning but this what bothers me. no-one tells you ANYTHING with formula/express feeding. you're meant to figure it all out....

i do lurve ~KFC as well but i prefer BK as i never get one cos the nearest one is about 15 min drive!!! i can have KFC in bury anytime.
did i tellyou bout the time i was in hospital and i made DH drive to burgerking to get me a whopper cos i had a right craving!! i ate it in the car-park cos you;re not meant to bring food on the ward...

hope oh is abit more understanding... and i dont want to see you posting tomorrow night if BIL is out!!!

reggae reggae sauce isnt hot!! have your tastebuds weakened since you had J???
