    The only thing I found sad about the article was that she felt the need to firstly tell the public what method she is using to feed her baby, and then secondly justify her decision. Its her baby and her choice. Its so stressful having a tiny baby, let alone having a whole country judging you and your parenting skills :(

    They are really cool :j They are £20-£25 mind you but I am sure one will fall in to a shopping basket of mine any day soon and I will blame you MFD!

    Now, I just had to google them didn't I. But I will not purchase, I will not.

    Poor D Hammy, Alex was sick for 2 days and it did my head in, so I really don't know how you are coping. Hugs. x

    I did - I haven't bought one[STRIKE] yet [/STRIKE] because they are lined and look quite thick. They are more of an autumn coat I think and I don't know what size Benjamin is likely to be in autumn (he has huge spurts and then stops!).

    I got him a thin waterproof one from Mothercare in the end. In autumn I might just be tempted into a Hatley one with matching wellies :T:T

    I don't know whether you're referring to my comment but just to clarify, I meant it is sad that the scrutiny she was under made her feel she had to change what she was doing. I feel sorry for her that she didn't feel able to just do what she wanted. I wasn't commenting on the nature of her choice - just the fact that she felt forced into it by outside pressure.

    OH just rang, "I've won £100 of Debenhams voucher in work".

    You can have them if you want, but what's it worth?;):eek:;)
    Think I may have to get over my tiredness for one evening.

    Also ungrateful because wishing they were Next vouchers for Saturday.
  • I would much rather have Debenhams personally WM - you can give them to me if you like?

    :D
