‘So your mother disappeared for a weekend, you didn’t know where she was gone, and you never got to breastfeed again? Perhaps that experience is where your abandonement and commitment issues stem from’.

I think the mustard thing is equally traumatic, personally. I weaned my daughter four months after your friend, she was used to bottles at that stage - I asked her if she wanted a bottle instead, she did, and she sat up, delighted wiht herself, had her bottle while watching Home and Away and never looked back. I would have kept going if she’d been broken hearted about it.

Sorry, I hope no one else is reading all this. Twenty needs a withdrawing room for innapropriate subjects, such as breastfeeding.

Chances are, her baby’s got a bit of an allergy to dairy. If I were her I’d start giving him expressed breast milk, gradually adding in increased levels of formula - I gave my daughter soya formula, not dairy.

Tell her to go to the breastfeeding board on rollercoaster for some good advice.

I wondered if putting something like vinegar or marmite on her boob would put him off? Then, he could really like marmite.

This is probably a typical male solution and completely bonkers.

Ha ha, noo noo time.
