can i really run out of milk after 4 months bf?
can i really feed on child to 18 months and fail with the next?
even though he haas >6 heavy wet nappies a day, poos daily, has a lovely colour, isn't skinny, is alert + smiley can he really be failing to thrive?
does it make sense that a boy on the 25th, 9th, 2nd and 0.4th centile are all growing at the same rate until after 20 weeks?
if that is so, why is ds expected to put on weight as a greater ratio of his current weight than a bigger baby - he's nearly doubled his birthweight already at 4 months!
am i the only person who thinks it is worth it to continue (besides my dh)
am i the only person besides dh who thinks i can do this?
how can i take anything anyone says seriously when it is interspersed with great advice like 'if you do top up use brand x as it is closest to breastmilk' and 'make sure you are eating plenty - have more cake!' and ' if you are stressed you will stop making milk' (tell that to the women of my family who bfed through bombing raids!!!)
why am i still enjoying feeding him despite all this grief and bullshit?
