She was still thinking about breastfeeding (but luckily had a bottle with her). Her midwife walked past when she was sitting on a bench feeding him.

Anyone remember the baby's name? Was it Ben?

I also found the French part a bit weird - I lost interest a bit after that...

PicadillyCircus · 21/07/2004 21:04

There was a bit fairly soon after the baby was born (whoops have forgotten his name - read it a few weeks ago) where she went out wearing a dress that zipped up at the back.

And then thought that it might be hard to breast feed in. How many people manage to go out in that sort of dress that soon fter having a baby??

As you can tell, that part annoyed me

liked most of it, especially the coffee mornings/competitive mothers, thought the french bit was quite incongruous, liked the ending
