thanks for all the advice.

manta and barb - i know many women successfully BF while pregnant and beyond. i just really wanted to give my body some time in between children. i follow a lot of francesca naish in terms of fertility management, BFing etc and she suggests a 2 year break from BFing before TTC again - this is in a perfect world though. good to know that others have been absolutely fine with BFing while pregnant.

today i tried skipping the feed after the lunchtime nap - after about 10 minutes of being fussy and trying some diversion he did settle down. i'll keep going with this for a week and then try dropping another feed. thanks for that advice!

i know he will eventually wean. thanks for the reminder
