We have a cup of cows milk with breakfast and at bedtime. Maybe 6/7oz in each? No bottles though and she now uses an open cup during the day. I'm not meaning to sound braggy, she was a nightmare to get onto bottles in the first place and has mostly used a cup since 6 months.
We had a lovely day with an old school friend who has a dd a year older than m yesterday. She is in a very similar situation to me and it was lovely to chat with someone who had the same insecurities about being a stigmatised young mum and only staying in a miserable relationship to avoid yet more judginess. We are 21/2 year old career women ffs, and yet we both agreed we often feel like bad school girls when in baby groups with middle aged, middle class mums. It's a big hang up of mine and I'm glad I am not the only one who sometimes feels like that.
Anyway yesterday opened my eyes to a lot of my own silly insecurities not helped by a massive argument with p last night and I am now entirely determined to buy my house on my own. I went to view the tiny one I linked ages ago yesterday and fell in love with it (I love it more than the big new build 
) so am going to go back to the mortgage company on Monday and see if I can do the loaned deposit alone. Please keep everything crossed for me, in theory it shouldn't be a problem but I have a horrible feeling something will get in my way
