Went to the GP today, wanted to go onto the pill but am still BF my 9/5mo DD2... have no desire to give up before 12mths and even then i may continue a little longer.

Anyway when i said what i'd gone for and that i was BF so would need one i could still take while doing so, his reply was 'at 9mo she should be waened by now'... I said she was weaned onto solids but still took a few BF from me. He then said that as i had to wait till my next AF to take the first cycle i should stoip BF before then!! I said i wasn't willing to do that and he begrudgingly gave me a prescription for the one i could take...

AIBU to think it was really none of his bussiness as long as my DD2 is healthy- (which she is!!)....
