Oh I love you girls. No seriously... I love you. That was EXACTLY what I needed to read. I felt a bit silly putting that little whinge out there but your responses gave me just the validation, encouragement, information and resolve that I need right now.

I don't feed DD every time she asks... we have a bit of a vague feeding routine, though I'll feed on demand if she's feeling particularly insecure, is sick or needs comfort. It's just the requests / demands / big sooks on refusal that are wearing. I do try and set some limits around mucking around too, but I've noticed that I'm a bit inconsistent with her and I'm giving her mixed messages - ie sometimes I have the energy to play along, blow rasberries on her hand or chat to her about being a little wriggle-bot (!!) and other times I get fed up and tell her to stop. Need to shape up on this me-thinks.

It's nice to hear that I'm not the only one with libido issues (though sucks for all of us I guess!). I do try and just 'do it anyway' and sometimes this ends in me actually enjoying myself. Other times though... well it's just 'ho hum'! I had assumed that it was BF related as it shifted SO dramatically since bub was born. I'm only vaguely interested once a month and I'm sure that coincides with ovulation. Hmmm... my body seems to be saving my energy only for the practical uses of DTD!!

I stopped taking a supplement a while back and I agree, low iron or other minerals could be bringing me down. Should also seriously put in for a bit of me time - need some winter nurturing.

I do love that we can have this special bond and that I can nourish her this way physically and emotionally. I will stick with it... (and pray for sunshine!!). Thankyou, thankyou and thankyou girls again. You are an awesome cheersquad!
