Gigi, while I am sorry you experienced such awful treatment I love hearing how you have come through stronger in your commitment to bilby to continue feeding her.

TK I love the image you inspired of DD - so cute I got my first smiles while feeding I have some truly precious moments while we are feeding. DS can be so cheeky now and will play peek - a - boo with my shirt while feeding but somehow manages to stay attached while smiling.

AFM I cut out the midnight feed about 6 weeks ago. Now DS still wakes up but is happy with just a cuddle and going back to sleep with me. If he is sick or really hot then I would still feed him but I haven't had to... We have had the odd night where he hasn't woken up until 3/4am instead of 12am. So my mission is to cut out the feed from that second wake up.
I have a party tomorrow night and for the first time I am a bit nervous about feeding DS. I know there will be at least 1 guest who would be uncomfortable if I feed him, and it's another woman who I would have expected some solidarity...hrmmm not sure what to do... will just wing it and feed him as discreetly as possible.
