Susan I only caught the end of the GMTV Breastfeeding feature. I only heard something about b/f being bad for growing childrens teeth?I've not heard that one before. Obviously a bottle of full sugar coke would be better. Is GMTV availabe to watch online?

I guess in theory if you're still doing lots of night feeds once they've got teeth and aren't cleaning their teeth after each feed then there is the potential for tooth decay but I would think that the nutritional benefits would outweigh the risk and I would think it would apply just the same to more or less any other food or drink (except water) rather than being specific to breastmilk.

I just felt she made some good points regarding bf'ing for comfort - i.e the child relies on this for comfort, as opposed to just a cuddle. I would try to make sure my baby didn't still use a bottle at that age, so the same rule would apply to bf'ing for me, but using a cup would be better obviously, but then i don't think the BM would provide anything they particularly needed that food wasn't already giving them at that age.

I'm not against it at all, and i admire anyone who can continue for so long, but it's not for me and i found myself nodding at some of the GMTV feature.

/runs

No need to run. We all have differing views on things and there's a difference between having a calm and rational objection to extended breastfeeding and saying it is sick/weird etc. as some people do.

Does anyone know how long a warranty a sofa would normally have from homebase? Ours is less than a year old but one of the seats doesn't seem to be lining up and is collapsing into the storage bit underneath!

I don't know what warranty they do but regardless of any warranty they offer I would expect them to do something about a problem like that. See www.moneysavingexpert.com/knowyourrights

I vote pink for fairies

I was going to suggest blue but pink sounds better.

Glam, the strucmodes with my buggy said to lock the front wheels when going over rough terrain (eg grass), and use swivel for normal tarmac footpaths.

Well done Andrew!! 8lbs!!! :j eating obviously agrees with him .do you know yet tigs if you are coming on Tues. fairies are ready to post tomorrow (we had a slight cash flow prob so apologies for not sending them earlier. aless, will get yours posted tomorrow)

Sorry, we won't be making it, another medical appointment getting in the way! Don't fret about not posting though. I get the fun of unpacking Andrew's few "next size" clothes today, mainly vests & gro's, so other items gratefully accepted. You will tell me if you want postage paying, won't you - don't be shy!

I bought an energy monitor yesterday in Lidl. Apparently Alice thinks it's a phone as she's just had a long involved discussion with Daddy about our walk and how I couldn't find the keys and is now thanking my brother for her Christmas present on it.

They've gone now from that post (but now I see them in this quote!). Must be a glitch. I know MSE Dan is tweaking stuff about stopping super-size photos just now, might have been related.

glam- are you using sling or buggy on tues?

think we need def numbers as well. just thinking with lots of older babies we'll need lots of highchairs. we are ok with kian in the buggy
