    I've been wondering how long the milk takes to disappear - it's almost a month since Alice actually fed (and it was two weeks before that) but I still have milk.
    Aimee gave up feeding in a very similar way... She started going longer between feeds, would ask every couple of weeks until eventually there was just no milk there when she tried to feed...

    My friend who gave up on her sons second birthday had milk for a good 12 months afterwards though...

    I think everyone is different really...

    And I'm pretty sure I've seen earrings in charity shops... If they're new and unworn then I don't see why they wouldn't take them...

    Aimee's coming home tomorrow!

    And Caitlyn just got hold of Aimee's bindeez studio and emptied about a million of them over the floor... Happy days!

    I think Tom had his first bottle of EBM when he was under a month old and doesn't seem to have done him any harm. Until Friday, he'd only had at most half a dozen bottle feeds and I don't know what his daddy did on Friday but Saturday morning when I was feeding him, he was holding the bottle himself! What really has amazed me is that while I was determined to bf, I wasn't sure how I'd get on with it, let alone stick with it for the recommended 6 months but how amazingly easy and convenient it is, and I can see now why ladies do it for longer.

    The sooner the better IMHO (sssshhhh ;)) I think nipple confusion is made up by 'them' to scare women into not giving bottles!

    They don't call it meals on heels for nothing ;) I find all the stuff that you have to remember with bottle feeding a headache! I loved it when it was just me and babba and that was all we needed to go out for the day!


    nikkit ((HUGS)) chick. Keep your chin up, remember that some of it will most definitely be hormones but not necessarily all of it. Can you try and sit down and have a chat to him about helping a little more. I found starting a sentence with 'I know I might be being unreasonable and hormonal BUT...' kind of softened hubby up straight away. I used it even when I didn't think I was being unreasonable or hormonal ;) :rotfl:

    thx , yes i know he has other kids , and they come round here every week we try doing stuff but with 6 kids between us now its ahrd to all go out together , so he does stuff with them when they are here , its just i like to get out with baby and my kids , even when my kids at sch i go for walks and he makes every excuse up to not go with me , and now she emails and he goes running .
    and also i find it so hard to sit down and talk :( and keep it in for way to long and then breakdown

    Whos good at tidying??

    I will pay someone £50 to go and do keira's bedroom, it's making me :eek: and i'm only looking at it :rotfl:

    Last time, I got it organised, took me ages, and she has no concept of putting things back (AT LEAST IN A TOY BOX) Does my head in! Grrrrr.

    I'd like to swap her room about but not really sure there is much I can do, because of the big wooden cooker (tut why did I buy that)

    I'm thinking i might take 1 toy box out the wardrobe, and use that to keep all her dress up stuff in, because it's ridiculous the amount of stuff, and she just flings things everywhere in pursuit of the RED shoes or the BLACK shoes.

    Maybe I'll do it tomorrow....

    i'm not sure Jillie, longer the better in my eyes, I hate their forms, and their attitude and their lying ways :D

    think you can ring up once you have your p45?
