Breastfeeding morning

Today I was lucky enought to take part in a breastfeeding info session for the teenage expectant mum group at the hospital. A lovely lady came to explain in a very visual way what is in breast milk and how it differs from formular feed. She was not forceful in any was and simply gave the information allowing the women to make informed descisions in the future weeks.

Having breastfed for many years now I hope to go on and do further training in the is area in the future, after my degree. it is always inspiring to watch somebody make such a simple thing enjoyable to talk about. I picked up lots of tips and even some reassurance about how much C is feeding at the moment...lots! So a good morning.

a loved his pressies, Lego from grandparents and even a sling shot catapult from auntie and uncle. We went out for tea and my sister had kindly made lots of beautiful cakes for everyone. Archie even managed a quick cricket game with some other children there, which he loves.

Last day of clinic for me tomorrow then it's back to longer shifts on the ward next week. We are off to a wedding on Saturday too which is always nice to look forward too.
