Wow poppy, how horrible for you. I don't think anyone has the right to put every baby into the same "box", every baby is so different in their needs and a mothers instinct is always best I reckon. Re the co sleeping, Tara doesn't sleep with us but every morning DH brings her into bed with me and we have a sleep together and we always put the doona over her legs to keep her warm (as you know this is a big no no) but it works for us. I think you are doing a fantastic job and if bubba is putting on weight and is a contented baby with what you are doing then you are doing all right in my eyes.
Green: I'm so sorry your little man is so unsettled and as you said after all the hard work getting your BF'ing sorted to then be told he may have other problems to deal with. Tara is on Lactose Free fomula since birth, both me & DH have some lactose intolerance so the paed suggested to us to put her on the lactose free formula just in case. While I was giving her EBM (as she wouldn't feed from the boob) I made sure that I was having lactose free dairy products myself (ie: milk) just to be on the safe side. I hope things get better for you soon, but your DP sounds very supportive which must be a huge benefit.
Big hello to everyone else....
