gravy train
Friday, December 07, 2007
Further to the post about my 'decision' re. Maggie's childcare (inverted commas are intended to signify that the process was in no way particularly rational) I've made another woolly, intuition-guided call, this time concerning weaning: she's off the boobie as soon as she gets teeth. Which makes perfect sense to me, although I'm sure breastfeeding zealots (notice I'm refraining from using the n-word. No no, not that one, God forbid, the other one) would throw up their patchouli-stained hands in horror at my utter selfishness. But the way I see it, I didn't even expect that I would still be breastfeeding Maggie at six-and-a-half months and counting: Rebecca, at this stage, was entirely bottle-fed as my supply had begun to dwindle rapidly at around 12 weeks, and tailed off completely at six months. So in her sister's case, any breastfeeding at all that goes on after the six-month mark is, so to speak, gravy.

Testing testing. Does this work?
I had teeth at six weeks old(yes you heard me correctly)and so my mum stopped PDQ. So i dont think you have anything to worry/feel gulity for at all.
I can't believe that Maggie is already 6 months and counting. Blimey time flies fast these days.
