    The heroes of breastfeeding for me were soluble paracetamol and Lansinoh (free samples from the HV/MW).

    The real hero is of course Mrs E for bf. Tell her so from me.xxx

    This thread is a positive joy Ed. Love to the new family. x
    Made it to mortgage free but what a muddle that became

    In the event the proverbial hits the fan then co-habitees are better stashing their cash than being mortgage free !!
