Don't worry Marion, it will get easier. I hope the bfing works for you, it would be much easier than expressing. It should get easier as she gets bigger. Jack only fed with nipple shields for the first 3 or 4 weeks due to a tongue-tie, then when it was snipped he had to learn how to attach without the shields. As their mouths get bigger it definitely gets easier so it's probably worth perservering.

Kathryn, how's the TT going? I think we will have to start it properly very soon. Jack is peeing in the toilet once or twice most days and sometimes says "did poo" when he dirties his nappy. Yesterday I had his pants off for his aftenoon nap as it was hot and when he got up he took his nappy completely off. I just worry about taking that next step and putting undies on him as he's not even two yet.
