New mum on the bottle: why breast wasn’t best for us
Warning: This blog post is long, and mentions the word “boob” a lot . When a baby pukes up blood from your shredded nipples, opinions start forming. Here they are… I’ll start from the beginning. I’d always said I’d give breastfeeding a go – it’s free, after all, and supposed to help lose the baby blubber – but pledged if it didn’t work I wouldn’t beat myself up about it. But

Okay, so I’m a bit late posting this as Baby Bateman is now 11 weeks old, but she’s been keeping me busy!
