I'm expressing for DS3 now I'm back at work - again, not something I did for DS1 or DS2 and couldn't have done it without all the helpful advice from the twin stars, mears and tiktok!

SQ! Can you have forgotten my nightmare encounter with "Facilities Manager" who refused to put a lock on my door and offered me a yellow building site barrier instead , leering offensively all the while...
Still better than a workbench I grant you

a door, wow!

i'm most grateful to tiktok for telling me it was still ok (if not optimal) to drink and smoke while b/f not at the same time you understand...

Yes, they are so calm,logical,kind and intelligent. The Kofi Annans and the Nelson Mandelas in the heady political furore that is the breat/bottle debate!
I was lucky enough to have sterling RL support but have learnt so much even so. I wouls also like to add Pupuce to the list.

For the ambiguous amongst you, I know that their reasoned thinking counters even my occasional silliness!!!
(I am, to continue the war analogy, a hot headed Marxist guerilla who needs keeping in check.)

Serenequeen, I've had a fag once or twice while b/feeding!! (Still feel terrible about it though.)
Also drink plenty of wine (but only the really good stuff..)

serenequenn, I had a fleeting 'Ab Fab' vision of you BF with fags in your mouth and a bottle of wine in the free hand!!

Thanks Moondog... I am afraid I am not always as diplomatic as Mears and Tiktok.... Plus I tend to focus on other threads (pregnancy and childbirth) so don't participate as much as I should on these ones.....

Thank you Yorkiegirl.... that's very sweeet.

I'd like to say thank you as well. I've had a lot of support from reading old threads about breastfeeding, largely advice posted by tiktok and mears - and my first post on MN was about expressed milk!

Another one who couldn'thave carried on bf without your advice. My first post on Mumsnet was about whether I could drink and bf - I wonder if I'd have gotten so addicted if you'd all said no?

Addicted to which one, Prufrock...?

...mumsnet, boozing or breastfeeding?
