today I drove across town to go to the ABA shop (nearlt 3 hour round trip and by the end both DD andI were cranky pants)
BUT i got the Hilary Flower book and already it's been worth the drive....
I found the section about breastfeeding aggitation and started crying with relief that i wasn't the only one who wanted to run away screaming sometimes... the quotes from the various mothers were brilliant and when i read them to DH i think it was the first time he relaly understood..... I don't think i was explaining myself very well.
so with a sigh of relief, i'm looking forward to reading the rest of the book.
Thanks again for the name of the book Barb and Liz, and also for sharing your stories.... i've been feeling really alone and freakish for some reason.....probably coz hardly anyone seems to have tandem breastfed and i keep getting told all sortf of crazy stories that i know aren't true...like the baby won't grow, or my teeth will fall out etc.
