Janie.. I agree & thanks for pointing that out. Definitely just do whatever works for you.. every baby is different.. that was just my experience. My DS was a mega boobie monster which is probably why he didn't cope too well.

Also apologies to Panda - I thought you were returning to full time work rather than part time.. so the need to get him adjusted isn't as great. Just to clarify, I meant to recommend getting bubs used to taking those feeds from a bottle or sippy cup rather than cutting them out.. at 8 months he still needs plenty of boobie juice!

Good to hear that some bubs don't miss their feeds at all when mum returns to work Janie.. I didn't realise that could happen.. I hope you've got one of those Panda (hopefully my DS2 will be one of those too!!)
