Maffie : sorry to sound rude or blunt but sod what you OH says! Do what you feel best for you and Noah. I know Noah is his baby too but I strongly believe every baby is different so it doesn't matter what was and was not done to his other children. Your emotions are important for Noah too, don't doubt yourself. I often get other people teling me Chloe wants this or that when I know different. My Aunt and my Cousin just had babies and we all do things differently. Its good to have other knowledge of things but you don't have to do exactly what others do or have done. We as bumpkins surely do a few things differently but it doesn't mean it is wrong. I just want to give you a bigplease don't doubt yourself and don't let your OH make you feel bad. Its not like the first thing you did was plonk the dummy in his mouth, it was a last resort and sometimes dummies are a godsend! I find they are brill if Chloe has tummy ache as she likes to suck but if she had a bottle she could be sick! You spend most time with Noah so you will know him better than anyone else. Remember, just becasue it's different doesn't mean it wrong!
^^^^^ This!!!!!
and then after a feed went back in his cot and slept more,till 9am! Shame Im ill,otherwise i'd probs be feeling fab!
Harry has an elf one, which is mahusive, but oh well. 
Where were all the old fave's? 
I'm ill too, I've had a cold for about a week,then xmas day night,during the night I started with earache. I;m having to take paracetamol every 4hours,which I hate having to do,with me breastfeeding,but if I don't I'm in so much pain! I can hardly hear out of both ears and there leaking discharge. I think antibiotics are going to be needed to shift this but doctors won't be open untill Tuesday!!!
