babies gain nothing from breast feeding once on solids and especially not after around 12 months

[popsycal]

Utter bollocks i know but can anyone direct me to a link (as scientific as possible) to give to my misinformed Dh (misinformed by numerous people including random friends, his mother and his GP)

thanks

i do the feeding and not realising. i often find dd3 in my bed and think 'now when did i bring you in here?'

misdee - that describes my night times to a t

Just wanted to wish you well Popsy. I think there are very real advantages and am still feeding ds at 21 months. That said, not a lot of people know that! I can be open about it on here but cannot be bothered with potentially negative reactions in RL. You do what's best for you and ds, end of story. For the life of me I can't work out how it is anyone else's business anyway! Hope your 2 week now-or-never plan works out

You are doing well popsy.......

uodate
last night he went to bed and did not wake til 3:20!!!
that is a world record
nearly 8 hours
hell that is just abotu sleeping through!!!

after that was a bit of a shambles but there you go

OH excellent news popsy!

At least you know now that, even in this heat, he can sleep a good 8 hours or until past 3am without needing feeding.

Well done. YOu are doing really well. I think you will have cracked it by this time next week

O hope so!

I am boiling

dh is staying at a friend's tonight so i wil have to be string and not bring ds2 into bed for cuddles

You'll be fine, im sure.

xxx

How did it go popsy?

As i predicted

and I think I am getting thrush too for the first time since ds2 was tiny
grrrr

OH bugger

off to hunt for some ancient daktarin cream

oh god all the boil washing bras n stuff too....

oh hell forgot about all thayt

actually to hijack my own thread
i am DESPERATE for new bras
I am still wearing the bloody bursing bras from when ds2 was born (some of which were from when ds1 was born)
I am sure they do not fit properly

Have to say, I dont wear nursing bra's ALL the time now. I am still using ones from when my DD was b/feeding 3 years ago...

I wouldnt know where to suggest tbh.

I know - it only occured to me the other day that I don't actually need to especially when we are out as he just does not want to feed if he is busy. Mostly just at home.

Ooooh. I could go bra shopping

Exactly.........

off to find myself a tape measure!

You're doing so well Popsy. When you've bought your new pretty non-nursing bras, why don't you try wearing them at night for a few nights? That should end the "feeding when you're practically asleep" thing. Even if they will be a bit uncomfy to wear...

good plan!

That IS a good plan!

either that or bind myself with bandages

just updated the wrong thread
