It's possible - I did, but then I have a supportive workplace and we had loads of frozen breastmilk and I live close enough to the office that I could come home for one feed a day as well as feeding at 8am and 5:30pm. I imagine she has a similarly relaxed working environment, I picture her turning up with a nanny or two and being able to feed during lighting changes etc.

I thought of you when I posted. For the majority of people though it's not so practical and I wonder if she hasn't taken into account that not everyone has a job where they can do that.

Susan - He is allowed porridge, but the twice ive given him it he's screamed like hell with bad wind the next day, so I am keeping him away from flour/oats/wheat for the minute (my family has a major allergy to those things, I am hoping E hasnt got a allergy and that he's just not ready for it yet)

:eek: Is it a gluten thing? I believe millet has either little or no gluten in so maybe a millet porridge would work?

I edited to clarify my thinking, Susan - I think she probably lacks the imagination to realise that not everyone has the luxury of being able to afford extended maternity leave. And in the US six months *is* extended. She probably also doesn't realise that not everyone can breastfeed at all. This thread has really opened my eyes to the sorts of things that can cause problems for new parents. I worried over establishing breastfeeding but it was really an amorphous "people have problems" sort of worry, I didn't know any of the specifics. And I think of people who've worked so hard to keep going with nipple shields or who've stopped BFing because they weren't satisfying the baby's hunger or s/he stopped latching on or the latch was incorrect and causing everyone pain and frustration - and much as I'm glad Gisele Bundchen isn't posting her inane macrobiotic meditative crap all over the PT I think she could have done with a healthy dose of advice from it.

If you're going to be transferring from another halifax account I would recommend doing in in the branch when you go in so you don't have to tackle their call centre!

Im not sure, but it was hell lol, same thing happened when I gave him hungry baby milk one day instead of his colic milk

I'll look into that and try him on it

Thanks Gill I will do that
