I know what you mean Kass, some people don't see the 'job satisfaction' in being a mum - with all the pooping, crying, feeding messes that babies are. Some of us on the other hand, find being a mum just as rewarding as a 'proper' career - & anyone who thinks they can give you their two cents worth on your financial situation should butt out! When it comes to work & money that's up to you & Clint & noone else - it's good that they worry but to undermine your decisions by putting an 'i told you so' in your face is never going to help, iykwim.

Jo - good luck with the FF, i'm sure it'll be good to have your boobies back to yourself (& Chris, )! From what i have read, you should be right to stop the BFing as you have, so long as you don't have a blocked duct or the beginnings of mastitis (i think anyway) because stopping at this time is BAD for your bb's! But yeah check with your GP, im sure you'll be fine...!

Jo & Jess - Do either of you use a dummy yet? / Are you going to? / How did Sophie & Jaylen take to it & how old were they at first? Sorry, just curious!
