Thats a good price, i would buy it but im to afraid to breastfeed again

I don't what your reason was for not with Lily but you could always try expressing a bit to supplement the formula if you decide to formula feed. It might not last long but all breastmilk is beneficial even if it's just one feed - the formula doesn't cancel it out.

ETA: I hope that doesn't sound really militant - I just wouldn't want you to write it off as being all or nothing which is the impression that can be given about breastfeeding.

Hugs CAFC was it really cliquey (can't spell hope u know what i mean)

EA good luck for you scan, I am sure it'll be fine.

Does anyone know anything about babies being allergic to milk?? A friend just popped over with her little boy, she thinks T has a milk allergy as he has the same symptoms that her little boy had when they discovered he was allergic... hmmmmm it would explain a few things.

Hope everyones well and happy, its lovely and sunny here, shame T is napping I would take him out for a walk

David is allergic to milk and soya and eggs. Feel free to PM me and I will help in any way I can . Whereabouts in Mid Wales are you? I am in Herefordshire so not a million miles away from some places :cool:

Hello all, not much to report here. No real damage to D after he decided to climb out of his cot in the middle of the night. He landed on the floor with an almighty thump :eek:.

A bit late but here is our Xmas pic

:grouphug: Even though I did manage to do it with Alice I still feel a bit :eek: at the thought of doing it again and sometimes wonder whether I'll be able to get through the first month again.

EA, I hope all goes well tonight with your scan. Just remember with the BF your next baby - they may not be the same sex, they probably won't be the same weight, the probably won't look exactly like Lily so they probably won't feed the same as her either

Susan, sorry, I meant to say in my previous post. *gentle hugs*. I am truly sorry for you. You & your family are in my prayers

They say each baby is different, and hopefully this baby will eb great at it.

With Lily it was her not being able to latch properly and she was losing weight even though she was feeding for upto an hour every 20mins.

It hurt so much and i cried all the time.

The BF support was rubbish aswell, i had 3 lots of different info from my GP, MW and the BF support.

EA i gave up with my first after a few weeks as it was all too much, with no2 i BF him until he was 2!!! i didnt feed any of the others that long but just to let you know that it can be possible and i think with your 2nd your more confident in yourself. hope the scan goes well xx

its been a busy day here today, cant wait to climb into bed lol! I have been looking into the waterproof etc that Charlie will need and it all seems to cost a lot! I have just bought a pair of BNWT Hunter wellies for him in the next size up and thought santa could help with the added costs. He needs 2 piece waterproofs, neoprene wellies, thermals, 2 layers + spare fleece/jogging trousers, welly socks or thermal socks, hats and scarfs. thats not inc his lunch, transport, the extra we have to pay eeekkkk!!!

Tia/rmac and any other scottish ladies! have you thought of a day to meet yet???

EA I BF Josh for a week as it was painful and I didn't really know anything about feeding. With Caitlyn I'm still BFing her now. I understand your fears as I felt the same, but decided to give it a go and it was a lot easier.

Oops, hope that didn't sound pushy - I don't mean it to

EA is this the first scan??? are you going to find out the sex of the baby this time around? we didnt know the sex of the first 2 but asked for the other 3, kindof wish i had left it a secret now!
