Tfsi Mikes Money Pit II : Baby Harry! :D

[RedRobin]

And don't breast feeding if you can't/don't want too... our daughter couldn't be to start with so with "expressed" for about a month, but she always slept better and was fuller on SMA milk, and she's as bright as a button and very healthy so it's all a load of Bull, just do what you feel best and just ENJOY!

....I'd love to debate the sense and reasons why Breast Is Best but this thread isn't the place. So rather than call a different point of view "a load of Bull", as you put it, I'll agree with you insofar as doing what you feel is best.

Congratulations mate! All the best to you and your family.

Tell him I'll throw in a free detail on his first 'little tyke' car.

RR imho(or in MY point of view) it is "a load of Bull"(dunno why you have to question someone else's PoV/opinion), food nutrition science has come on a fair bit and there's no way of distinct saying Breast is Best... but then again, you think a UNiBrace doesn't have any effect on the MK5!  

[Gti_Mad]

congrats dude 

hope the wife and lil man are ok 

[NeilM]

Congrats Mike hope your all doing well, my eldest girl (now 20) was 4 weeks early, I'm fairly convinced she did it to give her an extra month to spend money 

[gazbutS3]

Congratulations Mike, all the best to you and your family and I hope the misses and young un are home soon

....Not so much questioning your opinion but merely defending my own. The word "science" says it all: Science is merely mankind's theory. I think that Nature's way of mother to offspring feeding across so many species trumps such ideas whether they be conveniently proven within scientific parameters or not. Scientists like to think they know better.

'Nuff said.

Congrats mike, hope your all well and your misses and boy are home soon 

[RoMocop]

Congratulations  mike

Well done, Mike - 3 weeks and counting for me.

No doctor, scientist, food specialist, midwife or anyone else worth their salt would dare say anything is better than breast milk.... the fact is though, substitutes are formulated to be absolutely 100% of what baby needs - breast milk just has the extras you can't add to formula.

[andrewparker]

Amazing news mate, so pleased for both of you. Just counting down the weeks until our second arrives.

Oh and please don't listen to any opinions about breastfeeding from men who are more used to taking about cars. Trust the healthcare professionals who, I think, have a little bit more of an idea what they're talking about.

[jhtrophy]

Congrats mate!

[damoegan]

Congrats Mike 

Hope mum and little Harry are doing well 

[Tfsi_Mike]

Wow, what a response, just read each reply while trying to keep my eyes open.  Will reply when I get home.  Massive thanks for your kind words!!

....Don't talk to me about so-called 'healthcare professionals'! I've had several years experience of dealing with them and I had to fight Great Ormond Street hospital in court... The High Court... And I won. They all have the very best intentions and I respect them for that, but they do NOT know it all as so many of them very arrogantly claim. Very narrow minded bunch too [/rant]

Some of us are a little broader in both our interests and areas of expertise than just cars. With age comes experience.
