oh well I just thought I would mention, as a matter of fact, today I have been bf for FIVE YEARS :-o

[harpsichordcarrier]

do I get a gold badge in the shape of a enormous nipple or summat?
does anyone know?

Well done Harpsi! I've been bfing for nearly 5 of last six years - blimey! never worked it out before.. this is me late for work again

Fab

I was being silly when I suggested DH

at toddler stroking the baby's head

I'll have done 4 yrs 2 months in a week or so. (Although I did have a break of 18 weeks whilst pg with DS2). Really hoping my service is up soon though!

Congratulations... did you breastfeed them when you went to Go Ape???

not sure why, PM, but your post is freaking me out . Breastfeed whom?

onebat Harpsi was on a thread last week where she said she was going to Go Ape, a theme park thing near me where you swing through the trees. I was just imagining her there breastfeeding her babies!!

OK. Just googled and discovered that Go Ape is "is an award-winning high wire forest adventure course of rope bridges, tarzan swings and zip slides."

Not a primate zoo.

This may all only be clear to me. Sorry.

when your dh gets them back, are you going to put them on a plate?

at them on a plate
more like a sling
tbh I don't think dh got the memo which says he can't touch them
yes I have enjoyed it and I will be sorry when it finishes. I have had some very special times bf the girls.
I did bf at go ape as it happens, not while swinging through the trees or anything.
it was great by the way but my arms still ache....

Oh I've been to Go Ape (well I've been to Alice Holt Park and looked at the Go Apers - DS1 is still too young to go). It looks fab.

I have also been bf-ing for five and a half years.

Just thought I'd post as this thread seems to fit with my specialisations

We should totally go!

is it near you?

Ooh Alice Holt in Surrey? But I wonder what the age limit is?
Or were you thinking - just us??!!
I could rig up a hip frame thing with a little tray for the bottle and two glasses.. I'm sure it would be fine..

LOL at just us. I don't think so dear

I think they have to be about 7 for Go Ape, but Alice Holt is very good anyway.

However you'll probably need to do the driving test thing first...

Oh, okay. I'll put this back under the bed then.

Oh yeah, the driving test thingy.

TBH it's a bit snug round the upper thighs these days.

Are those loops for thighs? I assumed they were for wrists.

I don't even want to think about why that was under your bed in the first place.

Mr Bat is athletic

get over to pedants pol.

I'm confused. Is this bf the same baby for five years or merely (hah) bf continuously for 5 years?

Yay You.

I have been breastfeeding for a bit over 4 years now. With a overlap of erm, nearly two years.

Weirdly despite me only having seen my HV a handfull of times, all the HV's know who I am and I normally have a small bet on with myself to see how long it takes before they ask me if I am still feeding two.

oh lovely
lovely lovely
glad present was such a success btw - you hadn't mentioned it but ds has it and loves it
