I hardly dare to post this... but it said in the paper today that breastfed babies...

[emkana]

are more likely to grow into happy adults.

It made me feel happy because I have a very poorly ds who has lots of health problems and I thought to myself "At least he is breastfeeding and I so hope it will help him in some way as he grows up."

And that's the spirit that this is intended in, so please don't jump on me!

To be fair to LoF she has apologized twice.

yes indeed little piggie
I shall go and sit at the bottom of the stairs for 37 minutes.

How is your ds?

Ds is coughing and wheezing and is very sleepy and grumpy.

Em - was wondering how you and ds were. I've been away and am just catching up.

with your hands on your head

no I apologise emkana, I was cross posting too and not just talking about LoF either, but about some others on this thread.
LoF was the final straw and am sorry she got the flak I have been holding back on since yesterday.
sorry LoF.

not joke/wind up. i couldnt think of the right words.
i still cant, but i know what i mean and what context it was in now.

lol at naughty step harpsi.

(hurrah for the verrucas in the past tense!)
sorry for wart related hijack

I think that some ff need to remember that just becouse we are still bf does not mean that it has been easy for us. And if these subjects offends you then stay away from these thread.

Sorry you have had a crap day Lady. We all have had posts where we have just reacted in a very visceral style and regretted it afterwards. I agree with HC that you caught some of the flak that previous posters have been spared from

harpsi, I think you can get off that naughty step now.

Hi saggars, how are you?

lof, there is only one way to take its bollocks, sorry.

thats ok.
ds2 is bfed.

I'm fine - dd sick . Been to Spain to see my sis and caught some fluey thing -probably from the guy behind coughing in her ear on the flight back. Grrr.

i mean when i said it is a joke/wind up. joke/wind up are not the right words. i know that the rest can only be taken one way and it was totally wrong to post it,in any situation.

Good. I like research like this it makes me feel momentarily smug.

lof, do you think there are any health benefits to bf? just you first comment made me think you didnt bf.

lp, maybe i am just feeling extra fragile today, but i feel a bit uncomfortable now so will go away if that is what is best here.
i have been in 2 boats. the bf one and the 'want to bf, but cant' one.
i have apologised to emkana for jumping in with my huge size 8's and feel like total crap. thankyou very much.

did you have problems this time round?

yes. it was ds1, not me.

sorry this time? no.
see, i can't blinking read!

it does interest me thats all not having a go at you.
assuming by your old name this no2, why even after a bad time last time you tried again unless you realy believe in the benefits to your lo.
