Hi all,

Don't get a lot of time to check out the threads these days - lectures, reading & studying, assignments left, right, and centre. Not to mention L...lol

Hope you're all well

Just a quick update - nothing new here! Hehe. Still same old...still bfing, infact he is more into it than ever before. He constantly pulls at my top and wants a feed. He has even added an extra feed He is now feeding immediately after waking in the morning while we're in bed. He's never had a feed before breakfast until now! We are also still feeding all throughout the night and I feed him to sleep!! Won't be weening whatsoever any time soon. Doesn't bother me really.

I have a phone consultation with the Queen Elizabeth Centre on Monday...I don't even know what our problems are and if there are even problems at all?? Maybe I'm just making such simple things into problems. I need to decide if L sleeping through is really a priority for me, if the tantrums are really that big a deal, if the needing to be fed to sleep is such a problem, if the cosleeping is a problem, the wanting bbs all the time, if the bad behaviour at meal times is an issue or a phase, the total lack of routine no matter how much I try and persist, every day is different - is that a problem? Yes I wish he'd sleep through the night and self settle but is it that big a deal that I should seek professional help and take him out of his comfort zone into a sleep school?? I feel it's selfish of me to try and force independence upon him just to give myself more time to do stuff, have longer and less disturbed sleep, have my bed back, have more time with dp, etc...and it's only a baby's instinct to want all these comfort things and want to be close to me. Of course he wants to be with his mummy 24/7, it's only natural. And like I keep telling myself, surely he won't be like this in 20 years time! Hmmm I am really in two minds about it

Okay enough blabber from me!!! Hopefully I'll get on here tomorrow to catch up properly xox
