I dnt think william will stop, he seems more so now Alex is here, clung to me.

I dont know how you do it hun. Nursing one I totally get, but two would be exhausting. The things we do for our kuds

 

[Shiv]

I'm still lurking! All being well I'll be back here properly in 18 weeks time!

i think the same, surely 2 is exhausting.

I feed Eva 3 times per day and i find it so annoying some days. i'm so sick of feeding her i just don't want to do it most days. I just feel like it's such a chore and that i have to take time out to stop and feed her. My reasons are completely selfish reasons which is why i have no intention of stopping but it really feels like work some days. But then again most days i'm fine with it. But i just keep thinking back to having a newborn and i have no idea how i fed so often in the day. lol. I find it so hard making time for 3 feeds per day at the moment.

My lo still often wants to be at the boob, and won't fall asleep without it. He is at that age now also when he is able to make it very clear he wants boob which is a bit embarrassing when we are out.

Not really exhausting more awkward to get them both on me if not in the bed.

Anyway having a party for Alex today and dreading my mum opening her fat mouth as she did at Williams parties, she ruined them for me with her snide remarks . Last one was on me breastfeeding Alex at Williams bday in feb. Made remarks to my aunt that I refused to go to my bedroom to feed my baby in my own house! pulling faces and all. She thinks I will embarrass everyone but no one else looked or cared but her! she also done that at Williams first birthday and moaned on about how we are all ok on formula then her and my aunt had a good bitching session about how its all the same making me feel like shit. Darren says he will throw her out of she complains about anything! she goes on about wrong plates, forks, if she dosnt like something she will say it she has no manners towards me at all yet full of aires and graces to all at the same time. She just cant say anything good, though dad has told her to zip it in here in future so she probably will have a face on her.

I hope it all goes well today Anneke, and that your mum doesn't make any judgemental and offensive comments to you

[Dragonfly]

Now if she didnt there would be something wrong with her. Look your daughter has done well. Quick insult her ! lol

 

[Eve]

Hope everything went well hun!

 

[Betheney]

DF i had completely forgotten that your mother was nuts! She always was moaning wasn't she? didn't she hate the boy's names? or was it Alex's potential names when you were pregnant? or was it another mother?

 

[Dragonfly]

yeah she didnt say anything but then I ignored her chatting to other people with my back towards her so I didnt see what she was saying. But after it she was again moaning on about christmas presents and bein controlling. She does this thing where she asked me everywhere what I want and then dosnt get it for me and gets something I dont like or need because she wants to. She even said she was going to choose me an ornament, and last time that was a nasty looking cat thing so I tried to show her what I wanted and she went off on one saying I was insulting her style when I was trying just to say we had different styles which we do. Looking at my dad with faces and dad ignoring her. The face was of her turning her nose up at me in obvious fashion. Panto style. So controlling. Again I shall get what she wants for christmas regardless of what I ask when she asks me. Its just the control thing that pisses me of there. Even with food she does that if I dont like it theres an inquisition and face pulling like I am some weirdo because I dont like what she does.

So party went well I think buns pleased her and she went home with a few. I have some pics of buns on flickr tasty tasty,

[AnnaBanana9]

Hi and welcome! :wave:

 

[mumandco]

Thanks for all the welcomes soo proud to still be bf thought we'd never make it this far due to midwives not showing me how to bf and me having to google how to bf and zack not latching on for 2days but we made it and still going strong

 

[venusrockstar]

I think we're officially done BF'ing

We made it to 17 months, but she has refused the boob for over a week now. It makes me sad.

 

[JellyBeann]

I remember being in here at 6 months and thinking about all the people who had been BF for 20 and more months, and thinking...I hope we get there, it's so far away though, and now, I'm looking at almost 24 months!!
