Janie is right, I've too have had my fair share of melt-downs when I've just thought it is all too hard and I can't do this Mummy gig.

Me too - both times!! Probably worse this time actually
It's just part of being a mummy, it can be very challenging at times. The hardest job in the world but as we all know the best job too! I hope today's been much better for you babe
Spring - speaking of b'feeding and work...heading back myself in about 8 weeks. Have started expressing and freezing EBM a few weeks ago. I'm only doing it once a day cause as a lot of you will know, it becomes a PITA if you do it too much and I don't want it to become a chore. I usually have a break over the weekend too. So far I've got enough for about 3 weeks (because I only work 2 days a week), getting about 70-100mls per go. If I can store enough to get us through till he is 12 months, I'll be really, really happy because it will take the pressure off me when expressing at work. How are you finding it? With DD she was down to three feeds a day by about 11 months, so I was feeding before work, sending EBM for lunch, then feeding again before bed (and she had been sleeping through for a while...ahhh, not so lucky this time!!). But L feeds a lot more than her so we'll see how we go. He does seem to be dropping his late afternoon feed though, so that's good in a way. How much EBM do you leave for Olly? I gave DD cow's milk instead of EBM too at about 13 months because I got sick of expressing, but would like to wait longer than that this time if I can.
10am at Cookie Man on Tuesday is fine for us - can't guarantee I remember where that is, but I'll find you! LOL.
Janie - got all my training paper work on Friday...feeling a bit daunted by it all! Need to finalise my assessments for the units I've got to do for CE, then I'll decide whether or not to keep going. I doubt I'll get it all done in 12 months, but that doesn't really bother me. If I do go ahead, I'm getting myself a lap top. Will just make it so much easier to get stuff done with the kids, travelling to work etc etc.
