Shes 10 months now :D
 
im not sure about your feeding, she will drop her night feed naturally when she starts going through, but im not sure about everything else- we are going to go down the baby lead route i think, but im worrying over feeds too as i have to go back to work in march!
 
Omg its all so complicated!!! Had hv today, think making too much milk in morning so Dan puking it all back up! Been told to express a bit off so its not coming as fast. Gotta get my head round this expressing its more about how much expressed he can have n then this hand pumping business blah!

Anyway turns out i have an infection, mentioned i was still bleeding after 2 wk and getting random stomach pain. Got sent for emergency app at doc, also had to have full bloods done in case im annaemic since im tired......perhaps something to do with the night feeds!lol Lucky its been caught early or i could have been really poorly!
 
Hope you're ok jojo - sounds a right pain.

Those weaning classes sound good bunny. We haven't got childrens centres here so will have to see what the welsh equivalent is... HV has made an appointment to go through weaning info on 18th jan - can't wait! Going to go traditional - starting off with baby rice then making my own purees, so excited! Just wonder when I'll know she's ready??
 
Feel better soon Jojo!

We're in Australia at the monent so will have to research what kind of weaning support is available here. Mind you DH's sister is a midwife with 4 kids so maybe I'll ask her. I kind of gave up on her advice because in the past she's been so vague about everything, giving me the usual every-baby's-different jive... Everything with Rosie (milestones & development) has happened naturally and organically without much "coaching" from me lol, so I should just relax and look out for her cues. I think because I planned to BF for a year and there's only 2 months to go (already!!!) I'm feeling pressure to start cutting back so she'll be fully weaned off BFing by the time she's one. Maybe thats where I'm making a mistake and shouldn't put a deadline on something like this... I'm just terrified of ending up BFing for years and years! Bitty, anyone? LOL!
 
Hey guys.....thanks for the get wells, i do feel ok n finally starting to stop bleeding!
Off to a breastfeeding group on tue, just need some reassurance n tips .....hope its not a clicky group! Probably be gategrashing their xmas party lol!
 
Honey i have the same issue- though i had planned to ex bf for 4.5 months, 5 months tops so that she was on bottles happily for one months before starting weaning at 6. I was getting ancy over the whole bottle refusal because like you, i wanted to enjoy bfing, and not feel trapped. (on that note, anyone watch extradinary (sp?) breastfeeders doc the over the day?) anyways, Penny is 17 weeks now so in theory would only be bfing for another few weeks. This wont be the case now and i've accepted i'l be bfing untill she's ready to take the sippy cup and is weaning. I think we will be committing to baby lead weaning. I dont want to stress over it, and i've given up on bottles now,the upset it causes the both of us each time we try isnt fair on either of us and tbh just unneeded. I have milk, she wants milk, im her mum.. i have to do whats best for her.

What did you plan to replace her booby feeds with, will you put her on cows milk or next stage formula? as milk will still play a part in her diet even after she is weaned off the booby. What does she take fluids from now, just you? or does she take water with snacks? you could start reducing booby feeds by offering her other fluids in sippycups or big girl bottles as i call them (not beakers, but still require sucking?!)

Id be surprised if a bfing group is clicky- i feel like bfeeders can be in a minority and are very open to newbies in groups. Unless your a complete weirdo, which you dont sound like, so youl make lots of friends! MY local bfer group was poop- i did find one that was soo lovely but 45 mins away and just not maintainable. x
 
Pmsl nope not a wierdo. I just remember going with my sis to a group a few yr ago n it was a bit clicky! Oh well im a chatty person so should be ok if i dont like it i can always go somewhere else, im lucky i live in a big town. Must be pants having a class far away! X
 
Im a breast feeding buddy and help out at breast feeding groups. I know the ones in my area are not clicky at all. Its not only sociable its a goldmine of information when your having a little trouble. Its just so.you know your not on your own x
 
Added a picture of Charles meeting Mrs Sandy Claws for the first time;) Looking forward to tomorrow as Charles will meet his grand parents again and they will be shocked at how much he has grown. Can not believe he is 3 months old, hehe. Also is going to see his three uncles as well, poor lad all welsh and be terriably confused but he will get to see snow in Wales :)

P.S. added a piccie of Charles's first master piece done today on the bedroom window,lol
 
Congrats jojo!

Ah all the babies meeting Santa, I put James off as thought bella was too young.

Bunny - where abouts in Wales are you going... We have most definitely not got any snow... Just lots of fresh welsh rain!

Gutted - going to miss the Xmas party at baby club tomorrow as I have tonsilitis :-(

I feel ok (apart from my throat killing) but I don't want to risk passing it onto any of the babies... Just hope bella doesn't catch it off me
