Yay Tracey Well done!

I sometimes wonder what my whole birth/bf/parenting experience would be like if I hadn't been on this forum. Could well have been the complete opposite.. I would probably have succumbed to painrelief, and actually been afraid of labour, my mum only fed us for about 3 months, but did scheduled feeding and timed for 10mins a feed, so her input with feeding would have hampered my efforts.. I wouldn't have been in contact with the ABA, so wouldn't have kknown much about bf at all! And parenting.. well.. it's only been 4 months so far.. but I probably would have followed my mum's lead, and done controlled crying etc etc.

I'm very grateful to everyone here too Now my problem is not pushing what I've learned on my friends! LOL. A friend of mine is TTC.. I will be recommending this site for her so she can learn it on her own. I know for a fact that her DH's cousin (very close to them.. and us) will be putting pressure on her to 'teach' the baby to sleep, and she's the one who had no success with bf her first, so didn't even attempt the 2nd. I'll be endeavouring to help my friend wherever I can when the time comes!
