Re: re: breast/bottle what is easier??
I've definitely found b/f easier! All that sterilising, no thanks! And I always leave something at home as I dive out of the door with my preschooler, late again!
I must say though that once they drink from a juicecup it's a relief as sometimes in public it's just so much easier to whip out a cup than a boob. And the lifesaver was a cup in the car on long journeys - yes, I HAVE leaned over from the middle of the back seat and fed DD1 in her car seat! It was so much easier than listening to her SCREAMING for an hour, as I did on a previous journey, before we stopped in a layby on a busy road with the articulated lorries thundering past and rocking us as they did so.
I fed DD1 to 26 months, and to be honest the teeth werent much of an issue. She nipped me a few times, and I gave her the works (frown, stern no and dumped on the floor), and it was a month before the next time. DD2 has been the same so far, so here's hoping for a good couple of years, but you never can tell, they're all so different. And so are we - stop when the time's right for you! But dont live in fear of the teeth, they dont necessarily turn them all into dracula!
