had a rather weird night at the wedding on Saturday - four bubbas under six months old - all but E on formula. one looked to only be a couple of weeks old. it made me really sad - and i wondered if it was through choice or lack of support. i know they all would have birthed at the other "local" hospital to me - the LC i dealt with goes there but only 2 days a week, so maybe they missed out on that help. or maybe the mum's didn't have the support once they left hospital... i dunno - i just felt bad for the bubbas.
but i'll admit i felt mighty proud of myself for not only being the only BF mum - but the fact that i BF more than once in the middle of the reception! i soooooo never thought i'd BF in public - but i feed her when she needs to be fed - wherever, whenever...
Shanti: That is hilarious! We've had a few similar incidents - the main one was at Bunnings. I was holding DS, felt/heard his butt rumble - then the next thing we know there is poo dripping on the floor!!!
... and on the subject of poo - We have just started doing Baby Led Solids more full time with DS, which means he's not having as much solids while he learns to feed himself - and I've already noticed his poos becoming runnier.
Alioops: Well done on b/f this long! It is great watching your bub grow and knowing it's all come from you!
BG: I know what you mean about being sad seeing bubs (especially very young bubs) on formula. A few mums in my MG suddenly weaned their bubs - for no real reason either - and I just thought how sad for those babies who suddenly can't have their booby anymore .
pmsl Ren, I'm sure you've seen DDs recent poosplosion on FB. It was all down her leg all over her nappy and all over her chest bc she rolled around in it before I noticed!!!!!!!!! GROSS!!
BG, ikwym, I rarely see anyone BF but I do see a lot of FF bubs. I don't think my DD would tolerate me weaning her, it's just not an option, pmsl. She is addicted to booby.
booby addict here too! she gets so excited seeing my booby coming out! even if DH is holding her and she's fidgety/whingey, if i start to organise pillow and stuff to feed her, she gets really excited...
Yep another booby addict here... she won't take anything else - when DD was first born the hospital introducted a dummy to help develop her suck reflex... DP and I hadn't planned on using a dummy but were surprised that we weren't fussed that DD had one.
At about 6 weeks old she stopped taking the dummy... flat out refused it - has one or two sucks then realised it isn't booby so spits it out! I don't mind (though it would be handy to have her take a dummy sometimes!!)
Sometimes she will only take one or two sucks and fall asleep but it is like she needs those comfort sucks to send her off!
That is hilarious! We've had a few similar incidents - the main one was at Bunnings. I was holding DS, felt/heard his butt rumble - then the next thing we know there is poo dripping on the floor!!!
It is great watching your bub grow and knowing it's all come from you!

I love it.
