Training day

Had a training day today for our breastfeeding support group. It was really interesting learning about combining breast and bottle feeding and how to support mothers who want to do this. But there were times when I wanted to cry, if only I had known all these things when Josef was tiny or had support when feeding him I would probably have fed him for longer. At other times though I felt very proud of myself for feeding him for seven months despite him being in and out of hospital, but it was a real eye opener. The lovely Felix came with me and is still teething like mad, and now I am unable to leave the room with an ear splitting wail erupting from him as I go through the door. I am hoping this is just a phase, and the good news is he went to sleep with me sitting on the bed tonight, instead of rocking him, hooray! Josef continues to become a little person and today was treated to chocolate buttons and a milky way by my friends who were looking after him, so he was happy for five minutes.
