Whilst I would literally and quite happily kill for a Mars Bar - its infinitely preferable having a happy bear without blood curdling reflux screams. Its also amazing how quick you get it out of your system - I used to have at least one bar a day, everyday, and its pretty addictive I've now realised from the land of cold turkey.
I tried some dark chocolate this week to try to get the hit but its impossible to find a brand which doesn't contain soy or dairy traces - so after scoffing some Montezuma's - which warns its made in a factory where soy and dairy are handled - the bear went proper reflux apeshit. This was also seemingly the cause of our shit night's sleep on Monday.
So on balance having a baby that sleeps, feeds contentedly, poos easily (too fecking easily yesterday), is happy and learning new tricks everyday its so easy to do - and for me its amazing i'm no longer stressing about WTF is wrong and how much worse he could get and dear god stop crying, and please go to sleep. I'm also nearly 2 stone down since quitting dairy in December. It's also wonderful to no longer feel my milk is hurting him. So don't feel sorry for me - we're good.
That said - I am going to have the mother of all binges in November - which I know will come around quick.
