Visiting my husbands 90 year old grandma today. Was having trouble bottle feeding ds2, various threads on here when i was breast feeding, when he wasn't gaining weight, when he wouldn't bottle feed much etc etc. She took over and got the little monkey to feed so well, he won't feed well for me or at all for DH. She then recounted her time breast feeding her daughter till she was a year old, and how she avoided the nurse's who didn't know much but we're obsessed by her child's low weight gain, 3 ounce's a week she tells me. I guess my point is that it would have never occurred to me to ask for her help and advice when desperately trying to breast then bottle feed ds2, it's so easy to forget that she has not always been an old lady. Made me miss my Nan though.
