Madmouse - I agree RE BLW. I certainly think things are different if your LO is really little! I want to KNOW what she's eaten.
Simpson - I get very angry about all this 'too attached' stuff. Poor little girl has ahd such a hard time. Even if the cuddle while she's pooing is a habit, so what? She won't be doing it when she goes to university, will she? And if she is scared of pooing, it would be very harsh to refuse her. I don't think you can have too many cuddles, myself.
On crying, sometimes we have to leave DD crying because in certain moods she will NOT go to sleep if either of us is in the room. For example, that's what we did tonight. I felt we were just winding her up. She cried for about one minute and was then fast asleep.

Tomorrow is D-day. Packing, cleaning panicking. Or at least it feels like it
