Howdy all. Sorry to read of potential TT woes. Agree re breastfeeding support. When bf'ing DD, when I was struggling with the latch and constant feeding and sore nipples, the HV told me to top up, and the local BF support group wasnt on that week due to it being half term. Felt like that was the only choice at the time. Now I know a lot more, as horsey says. I ended up mix feeding and was lucky it worked out for us, so much so that I chose to do the same with DS. Fortunately, the bf'ing element of that went so much better than last time, but had absolutely zero support this time, just an assumption that I knew what to do because he was my second baby.
DS was 8lbs7oz born. Now 15lbs10oz at 19 weeks. Following the 50th centile. He's quite long, in 3-6 clothes but toes pushing the ends of the babygros. He is a very, very hungry baby. Drinks up to 48oz of hungry formula per 24 hour period. Still following the 50th, despite drinking much more formula than 'recommended'.
DH is in my bad books. No matter how many times I ask him not to download stuff illegally on our t'interweb, he always fucking does. And then either lies about it, or makes some pathetic excuse about why it was necessary - i.e. he really needed some shite album. Even though the account is in MY name. And I would lose my job which pays more than 4 times what he brings home if we got into trouble about this. He has yet again promised not to do it, but I know he will, the fucktard. How the fuck can I make him see sense over this? I'd cancel the bloody internet if I could live without it, but I can't, because I have to be able to log on for mumsnetting work. Grrrr.
