for you Linda.

I am a little surprised that you have refrained from posting things for fear of retribution and am so sorry that you feel like that. I have always read your posts and thought that you were a wonderfully strong and supportive woman and were always prepared to make your suggestions and give advice and if people wanted to listen that was fine and if they didn't that was fine too - but you have always come across as a special soul with so much love and support to offer others on BB. It makes me sad that there aren't more people like you about and that you haven't always found people to be as open and giving as you are.

Please remember that every decision you make for your bub is absolutely the best one that you can for them and for you. Granted, having people judge you or tell you that you are endangering your child, or decisions that you make will come back to bite you never helps but I can tell you that as far as I am concerned you are a fantastic Mum and a wonderful member of BB and I am sure that I am not speaking out of turn when I say that we all love you very much and appreciate everything that you add to our little community.

I think that this post is a wonderful example of people putting it out there because it may just be that at 3 in the morning one dark winter night a desperate mother is second guessing herself not knowing if she is making the right decision and not knowing if she will find the support that she needs.
