No I would make dp do it.

Yes, I would.

WigWamBam · 19/09/2005 19:01

I had a little tube with a rubber bulb at the end of it that did the sucking for me - did the same job without the yukyukyuk factor

Yes, I would. But I'd use a mooncup and breastfeed in public too, so I'm just gross all round

I'd literally do ANYTHING if it gave me another 10 minutes sleep....

spidermama · 19/09/2005 20:59

Yep. Been there. Done it.
It somehow became easy when my tiny girl was screaming, hungry and unable to breathe properly.

hunkermunker · 19/09/2005 20:59

PMSL! Er...yeah, wouldn't you use a mooncup in public too? You'll be telling me I'm not to wee on lamp-posts next!

I would eat my children's crap in a bap if I knew it would make their lives happier and easier.
