Yet another amazing woman in the Cellar - sounds like you're fighting the good fight on many levels, ad no matter how tough, you're getting through it.......good for you Ali. Nice to see you around.

Missed you, Ali, but I am glad to hear you are doing better. I understand the depression bit.

I would read your book, because we are considering it, too.
Thanks for thinking of me. I quit facebook a little while back, because it was sucking the life out of me. Plus, my husband's ex's ubiquitous presence was sickening. Otherwise, I am doing alright over here. |

Good to hear from you about how things are going Ali. I reckon you should write the book at some point. As an aside, the lactation consultant I was telling you about took ages, I think, to write her book and hasn't had a huge amount of support from those higher up in the same field, but it looks as if it's starting to work out...perhaps not the best of comparisons as you'd be writing about something completely different, but thought I'd chuck that into the mix anyway. Hope that you'll keep on updating us.

I'm (slightly) sorry, but lactation consultant sounds like the silliest job title ever. I know, I know, there is a real need, but my inner blokey boof-head just want to yell "Just shove ya nork into the kid's mouth, he'll figure it out!"
Sorry. As you were.

Hi Ali. Nice to see you. I had been wondering about you but then I had not seen this thread before otherwise I would have known.
I wish you all the support and peace the world has to offer and I commend your diligence and perseverance. It sounds like Max and your other kids have a great woman to call mom. |

Ali!
Missed you babe. And obv missed this thread first time round (sorry, I do generally stay out of the Parenting thread due to lack of qualifications). A card is on its way to you and all your men. Just gotta get it together enough to queue for 20 minutes in the Post Offfice. Glad to hear things are better. Not best yet of course, but that is still to come.

10 minutes with the person concerned and you will be convinced that the world cannot survive without lactation consultants. Apparently, (and not to make light of things at all...)it's the baby that needs to be trained and won't necessarily figure it out at all by themselves...all this, I only know from listening to the lactation consultant in question, but she is incredibly into her area of expertise and could probably get a doorknob interested in the subject.

It is amazing what those women (and I guess sometimes men?) know. I'm pretty sure Zen was just trying to be funny...and you know, we have to humour him right? lol
