cheers

He's still taking about 3 daytime feeds which is way more than Katie had, but then I was back at work by now last time. My mum is a pain in the ass re bfing atm, saying things like: are you sure he;s getting enough? ... he doesn't seem interested... would be a good idea to get him on a wee bottle, give you a wee break (wtf how would that give me a break, making up effing bottles when I've never done it before??)
Had an argument with MIL the other day too

I was telling her that I'm not reducing feeds at all in preparation for work, I'll just express when I feel full and give him that the next day. She said that was a nonsense and that after 6 months there is no nutritional benefits to breastfeeding (or ff, btw, effing nutter), and that I should just give him cow's milk just now and reduce the feeds so I don't need to express at work. She said she saw it on GMTV about six months ago. When I said, actually no I do know quite a bit, have read up on it etc, she said that's like saying I've read it in the papers so it must be true. I threw that one back straight away with oh it was on GM fu cking TV so it must be true. Lead balloon. I wish she wouldn't wind me up like that - makes my blood boil. Wish the grannies of this world would just let us be, I really do. What makes them the f ucking experts? GRrrr. Sorry. Thought I'd gotten over that rant from Saturday. Apparently not
