Approximately forever

I only did it part-time, but we used it between 2 and 10 weeks, and then she wasn't really interested anymore. My mum used to crack up laughing when I did it, because she almost looked like she was sitting up, the way I held her, and she was this wee dangling thing at the time. But it worked.

When you cradle hold, do you have a cushion behind your back, a pillow in your lap and your feet on a phone book? Up til about 12 weeks I was friggen religious with that. I got really antsy if people came over and rearranged my feeding nest. Now I still have her on a pillow if we're at home, it's just comfy that way, but the phone books have been banished.
