MCHN says 8 week old must be in a routine...*long*

Exactly what Bath said

You do what works for you. End. Point. Fullstop.

I agree with everyone else - just ignore her. You have been doing what is instinctually right for your baby and if you are happy there is no need to change it. I just learnt to smile and nod at my MCHN...then run away very fast!! Often they are out of touch and confuse mothers IMHO.

can I go and knock some sense into this nurse for you - what a twit!

Thanks everyone!!!

I think I needed the reassurance that I am doing the right thing for US.

Initially DF was wanting me to try what she said but when I explained her take on feeds - he understands that BF babies need to feed more than formula he dismissed her as a twit!!!

YAY!!! Smile and nod people smile and nod

Smile and nod people smile and nod

Thats the one. If all that is setting up bad habits and creating monsters - then my kids are broken. No new anti-christs here.

On another note - My baby loves the "move it movie" too, hehe!

I'd just ignore the MCHN's stupid advice. I'm fairly sure I got the exact same advice as well and I remember thing WTF? She's like 2 months old.
Too be honest, Blue sounds just fine. I wouldnt change a thing. Just do what works for you!
