I thought Gin & Tonic was 2nd best

That is what we were told

Formula comes way down the list doesn't it?

Actually there is an official answer to this from the World Health Organisation which I think from memory is:

  1. Breast
  2. Expressed breastmilk
  3. Donated breastmilk
  4. Formula milk

    So formula is officially fourth 'best'.

I thought Gin was the Mother's little friend

Wasn't that what that meant?????

threads like this are just so much fun for the people who are struggling with the feelings they have when b/f isn't working.
what next, 'you are poor because you don't work hard enough?' That has a similar leval of compassion

And anyhow - I always thought Whisky was 2nd best - not Gin - Gin's about 5th on the list I though

hehe when my daughter was young just about ALL the old ladies at church took me to one side and recommended a tablespoon of brandy before bed...

DEFFO BRILL stitch

IIRC voddy does not smell on the breath so therefore perhaps voddy would be better for baby esp when MIL is coming round for afternoon tea
