Making her way in the world (2)

Since sinking her teeth into me some weeks back, Alice's days of breastfeeding have been numbered. I have finally weaned her and am now hoping for some lie-ins at weekends.


I had planned to go until Christmas, but I just couldn't get her to concentrate on feeding and besides, I need to get my wine drinking skills back up to par before Aunty Michelle arrives on Boxing Day.


So, now Alice is on her own, with "just" the three milk feeds, three lovingly crafted, organic meals and water drunk through a straw or from her doidy cup, each day. We have had a bit more sulking with her eating recently, but then a blocked nose will never produce a great appetite. Poor thing is still streaming and I'm still suctioning it out before each sleep. Eeeewww. Not a post for the faint hearted, this one. Here's a picture of Alice sleeping off another fight with Monkey and Softy Rabbit to make up for it.
