Breastfeeding: You’re damned if you do and damned if you don’t. When my breastfeeding journey with Dexter didn’t go to plan and I turned to formula, I felt judged that I had let my son down by not continuing to try to breastfeed him. This time, Felix and I have found a really great rhythm…

I’m delighted to announce the birth of our second son Felix Edward, who was born in Ormskirk and District General Hospital on 12th December 2018 at 10.57pm.

Although Dexter was bottle fed, I was hell bent on breastfeeding last time, but it just didn’t work out. I really want to breastfeed this new baby and I’m going to try to persevere while trying to be a bit more laid back about it this time. Being prepared for a breastfeeding journey is key, here…

Those first few months of being a new parent can be really tough: the bewilderness of not knowing what you’re doing, the sleepless nights, the guilt as you panic over every single parenting decision you make; imagine then, on top of all of this, having a baby with colic.
