Not just you . since his jabs John's refused bottle at all and I just can't keep up with eating and drinking and not sleeping. I'm either hyper from being so over tired or feeling like want to fall down - things we do for our LOs. Only hope doesn't last to long x

I also feel like this after feeds sometimes. It's difficult to balance feeding, diet and exercise. I'm finishing off my pregnancy Pregnacare tablets (bit of a miscalculation when buying them!).

I have no strategy really except to follow baby lead weaning and bf as long as I can. One of my colleagues is still BF at 18 months and get target is 2 years, she's like a stick insect now, I have never seen her so slim. She said her baby weight starting coming off at 9 months will look forward to that xx
