because she "knew bf" was the best thing for her and her baby - jsut as i found bottlefeeding the best for my baby (AND STILL DO)

suzywong · 15/11/2004 14:14

well speaking as an older mum (33 and 35 when I had my fragrant boys) I guess you have more confidence in your body as you've been in it for longer, and aren't afraid to wap your tits out or that your DH will go off you.

And if you've put your career on hold to have your baby you probably want to go the whole hog, in as much as you don't mind or you have put aside the time it takes to BF (rather than Bottlefeeding which baby's father or care giver could perform)

SInce you ask, good question by the way Fio

cab · 15/11/2004 14:28

Could be because our tits are already down to our waists so not much use for 'other purposes'?

sweetkitty · 15/11/2004 14:41

I'm far too lazy to go buy formula, make up bottles, sterilise etc far easier to whip out boob plonk in babes mouth and carry on watching Trisha from the comfort of your own bed
