Ds is sleeping soundly after his first day with no breast-feeding. When we made it to 6 months of exclusive breast-feeding I put out a message thanking everyone for all their help and advice because I found feeding excruciatingly painful for most of that time - bleeding, blisters, blocked ducts, etc. It was never comfortable but we made it to 18 months. And now I'm planning my first proper night out and subsequent lie-in for 27 months, i.e. since I first found out I was pregnant. Thanks again to everyone. I feel like this has been one of my biggest achievements yet and it was by no means a solo effort. I'll be raising a glass or six to Mumsnet.
