a quick question really

dd feeds whenever she wants through out th eday and night...as i wrote that i felt id probably answered my own question...however i was wondering how 'nutritious' my breast milk is at this stage? she snacks and so i am wondering if she is getting enough?

i seem to remember with ds i also gave him formula from about six months ...cos of low iron in breast milk? but with dd somehow i have never got around to it!...am i depriving her?

no you are enriching her and reducing your own risk of breast cancer in later life.

and you will be able to stop tantrums with a wave of a bosom.

NQP?
(Non qualified practitioner??)

What is your field?
Do yuo enjoy it?
Did A4C treat yuo well?

Newly...

I have nt started working yet.

I'm going to look for a mixed paed post....ideally pre school clinic and special needs..poss with some mainstream schools stuff too.

at the moment it all seems like a distant memory...like a love affair that ended abruptly

That sounds good. Wow, good for you for getting through it with a small child and a bump. Very impressive.
