Has taken me almost whole pg to decide definitely to try BF with DS2 who is due in four weeks. I've taken lots of advice from wise MNetters who've helpedme leap all the hurdles of understanding what went wrong last time, what I can do different this time and found me some medication that I can take safely while BF. Feeling very positive about trying again from a personal point of view.

Anyway, so out for dinner this pm with DH and he says he doesn't know why I want to try again as 'it only helps the immune system and DS is fine' - to be fair to him he did watch me suffer a lot physically and emotionally last time and he's done a lot of supporting me in this pg when I've been ill and I know he just doesn't want me to make myself worse BUT - how do I sell this to him. Usually I'd google it all but I'm soooo tired and I'm hoping to get some links/help from you all, sorry if that makes me a bit lazy but there's such a wealth of knowledge on here you'll save me sorting wheat from chaff!

So a quick sell on why breast is best please! Thank you!

You get bad moments with FF too - but sounds like the good moments BF are a bit more cosy! With FF you give the bottle and 5 mins later you're done and dusted, wondering what to do next!
