    I’m sure you were not a terrible mother @Suffolk_lass . Motherhood is such a shock and the whole feeding thing is a total nightmare that no one prepares you for and the NHS tries to guilt trip you into thinking there is only one way otherwise you are a failure.

    No baby has read the “rules” and they really are all different. My two definitely have done their own thing, not followed the guidance and wherever possible torn up and burnt the rules (in completely different ways of course) 😂

    Have fun. Hope the food doesn't end up on the walls as well as floors etc! My kids were little monsters for throwing things at that stage
