Speaking of supportive OHs, has anyone found that their OH has got less supportive of BFing as baby grows up? Mine was awesome at first, but now H is a bit older he doesn't like me feeding in public and is just generally much less helpful when I am feeding. When I told his the HV said I should be proud of myself, he was really sarcastic. He now says he was joking, but I don't think he was....

My DH doesn't like me doing it in public. We were in a cafe the other day and I had to do it in the car instead. He doesn't want any of my bits being flashed to anyone. Thankfully he's not usually with me when we're out so it doesn't matter.

I could see my OH being like this! But I'd just do what I usually do and tell him to !!!!!! or else :cool:

Mel - hope your pelvis is OK!

Thanks Glam...I'm sure I have just overdone it the last couple of days, but it hurts so much I can't lift my left leg:(

2k is a fantastic amount to 'earn' while on maternity leave, well done:D

Maybe it has to do with breastfeeding in the media always showing tiny babies (or babies under 6months) so seeing an older baby on what used to be their play things, makes them feel a bit weird? Once the baby is old enough for them to be a little person I mean.

Or maybe its just cos most men seem to get bored of the whole helping thing after a few months anyway?

Thanks! I'm amazed I've managed it especially as I've been living off the £3k I saved before I had J!
I'm going to give my Dad £1k of it so will only owe him £700 then and he can wait for that! He doesn't want it just yet but I figured if I can pay off some of it then I'll feel better and he might forget about the rest! lol!
The rest is being split between emergency fund and mortgage overpayment which OH will match.

Yes I did, have messaged you back

If it weren't for the fact that we were sitting in a table in the middle of the floor right next to the queue then I would have, I should have thought on and got a table near the edge. I've done it a couple of times when out with him, cue some uncomfortable looks because he doesn't want to make a scene but doesn't like what I'm doing
