You know what bugs me is the term 'baby led weaning' i hate it almost as much as 'midwife led birthing' and my hubby hates 'latching on'

I wonder which method our babies would pick if they could choose? I bet they wouldn't care really as long as they are getting something yummy to eat

Otter got to choose -- and he chose BLWing. I don't think every baby would choose the same, but that is what Otter did.

As opposed to consultant led I guess. I was definitely 'led' by my midwife while I was giving birth, and thank goodness for that

Same with BLW - Ruby leads me. She refuses to be fed anyway, she hates anything being put into her mouth by us.

But we all have terms we find annoying - for me it's 'Full time mum'. What other type of mum is there??

me too... it really kind of burns when I see the full-time mom comments. It hurts because I dont have a choice right now and im jealous that some mothers have the luxury of staying home. Dont get me wrong, im happy for mothers who have that luxury, I just hate having it rubbed in my face like im a bad person because I have to work!

I agree, I am going to be a SAHM (some may find that term annoying!) but we are all full time parents!! as for working I am so very grateful and consider myself very lucky to be able to stay home and look after M it must be the hardest thing in the world to have to go to work if you want to be home
