    mmm, a difficult etiquettical question.
    I don't know about breast feeding but I have heard that if you go for a plop-plop in someones bog, you should light a match afterwards.
    Or an emergency flare in my case

      What if you took the corner too fast and left a skid in the pan?
      I'm better than dirt. Well, most kinds of dirt, not that fancy store-bought dirt... I can't compete with that stuff.

        On the subject of breastfeeding, I am ashamed to say the idea of it makes me uncomfortable which is a bit of a quandry being pregnant. Pogle, I wish I could be as positive about it as you.

          OK. I found out today whether or not she was comfortable.

          Same friend visited us this afternoon to collect her laptop from which I have now removed all the viruses and trojans.

          We were sitting around a coffee table when she announced that she was going to try and feed the baby and then pulled her top up and plonked the baby against her boob.

          She didn't even have the courtesy to ask if we would mind!

          Unfortunately, all these good suggestions went out of my mind at the time, but I think I handled the situation OK.

          I couldn't look her in the eye while she was feeding with the boob pointing in my direction, but when she was using the other one I was OK.

          Feeding babies with formula is relatively recent.

          Humans have developed over hundreds of thousands of years feeding their babies with breast milk. I don't think that there is any contest.

            I've not had it neat, but I can tell you it affects the taste of tea. (Hey, how was I to know that's what that plastic bottle in the 'fridge was?)

              whatever you do.. don't lick your lips and say "Bitty!"
              The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.

              But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”

                My wife has the same feeling; our second is on the way and she is willing to give it a go as there are benefits you don't think of before the first - no sterilizing bottles at 2am
