Oooooh!

Evil midwife while I was in hospital with DS:
- You'll never be able to breastfeed, just give him formula it's better for him.
- (to another patient just after checking my stitches) You don't have stitches? Clever girl.
Quite a few more but just little niggles, nothing really outstanding any more.

My HV (MCHN) is wonderful: DS loses weight and she just tells me to give more fats because he's so active, no worries (others would hospitalise DS). He doesn't sleep but that's normal - I don't want to CC? OK, don't.

My GP suggests every time there's a health problem (usually that I need a break and my body's telling me this) that I should use disposable nappies instead of cloth. Yeah, like I need the extra work of buying nappies, carrying them home, chucking them in the bin outside, spending money, running out of nappies, DS getting rash from the nappies... cloth is so much easier but she doesn't believe me!

My boss, an Endocrinologist, also told me and DH that BFing was an effective contraception. We knew better! Although DS was 11m old before I had my period back. Even so, not worth the risk.

My breast-fed baby would over-feed like mad. I had to limit him to one side only or else he'd throw it all back up again (all over DH usually).
