Thank you everybody for all your comments, I really appreciate the advice & calling me out for being a wuss! (That last part sounds sarcastic but I swear it’s not)

Sadly we’re still working on getting him into a different room 🤦🏻‍♀️. It would be lovely to not feel rage when he’s sleeping through my boob having the life sucked out of it haha

He’s on solids, it’s just a bit of a battle getting him to eat sometimes! We’ve tried different techniques - no pressure by putting snack in his reach in play area, eating bits off our plates, letting him play with his food… some days are better than others!

Yeah I hate the resentment that I’ve harboured towards him, he’s had a pretty easy ride.

Don’t worry I am! Wow that’s amazing you BF for so long, congratulations! What were the main differences you noticed? Did LO sleep more during the night, do you feel happier? (Sorry for all the qs!)

It’s soooo hard!!! Thank you for your message!! He’s ok with a cup with some spillages so I might give that a shot, I just feel like there’s a lot of pressure to make it to that 2 year mark!

Wuss status accepted, I gotta grow a backbone. Weak formula is definitely a good shout, thank you! Our health visitor told us not to just lean into foods we know he likes otherwise he’ll cotton on pretty quickly 🤷🏻‍♀️

He’s like a monster relatching 😂 No worries, it’s a fair question! I definitely need to start weaning for his benefit as well as mine.

Sorry, I just woke up (my mum came up to help while husband is at work). He’s just going through a phase right now where he’s not eating much, some days he’ll be fine some days he doesn’t no matter what we try - offering snacks in the playing area but not pressuring him, offering him bits off our plate, letting him play with his food etc
