Hi hanreeoak

Blimey HMHB-lots going on! And am at 18 weeks wait for gynae.

RE feeds ds had never had bottles but my friend looked after him a couple of times for me and he drank them with her. Think the first time it was ebm but formula after. At around 8 months I tried giving him one a day so he wasn't completely on me, he would only drink it if he was strapped in his buggy and did it himself though (and after a couple of months wouldn't touch it but was well on solids by then). I also left a sippy cup of water around for him to help himself to.

lol at wasting "huge and wierd" description of self, surely not! You don't seem wierd on here anyway (can't comment on the huge as have never seen you...)!

Today I should

Clean inside windows/mirrors
Dust
Mop floor
Clean cupboard fronts

but we'll see

HMHB - remember to say you'll take a cancellation for the gynae appt, seems to work miracles when i've said that
re feeding - not really sure, agree you need a certain date to help you, when will the CM know?
if you can hold on ebf until she's 6months life will be easier (fewer feeds for a start) and try her out with a cup, avoid the whole bottle issue if poss.

Hanreeoak - good luck
