The second kid will get it in about three weeks (if it is chicken pox). Edit, the third. Tough going with a five month old having it.

A child needs to be able to self soothe. Some clowns denying it that. Let it have a dodi ffs
Good for the 5 month old, bad for everyone else. A tough week or two to put down but great to have it behind you. I wonât ever miss those fucking baths of gunk.
Prob best time to get it once 5 year old doesnât get it too.
You are in my prayers, pal. As always

You can get a jab to prevent chicken pox. Got it for our lad.
Aye, I wasnât aware of this until recently. Itâs common practice in the States. Probably why they have so many school shootings, lack of chicken pox as kids to balance them mentally.
Itâs not what you want now pal. Itâs your wifeâs body and her decision and you support it fully if youâve any sense .
Reassure her that the cluster feeding doesnât last forever

Some kids donât take to them (or bottles)
Our one flat out refused the soother. Would just spit it out. At least we donât have to wean her off it now. Youâd say 2/3 year olds still going round with them stuck in their gob
It does, kids are always hungry
Yes I know that. The baby is only 13 days old and the cluster feeding is common. It has calmed down a bit in the past 24 hours. In fairness itâs not the breast feeding thatâs annoying my wife itâs how constant it needs to be done,which is exhausting further no doubt.

Thatâs all well and good, but you shouldnât deny them it either just because youâre scared of weaning
no reason for a child to have one either. Personal choice really⌠We wont be going down that road anyway.
none of mine took to it, but they had a choice. A great thing at 4am Iâm told.
Absolutely. We tried her out. She had no interest. No interest in the bottle either but again thatâs something we wonât have to get her off. The tit is another story.
By the way @StoneCold your wife/life partnerâs funbags are somewhat off limits for your own enjoyment the longer the breastfeeding goes on.
Theyâll stretch. But there will be times when they feed a lot (âleapsâ or âspurtsâ). The Mrs said she was going to do it for a few months. Then she said sheâd do it for six. Then she kept going as the feeds stretched out longer and longer.
At the end of the day happy wife = somewhat happy life.
The health fascists have the living shit scared out of new parents.
No doody, only breast milk, only feed them superfoods, structured day, regimented play, no tv, Bach on the radio.
Parents feel guilty constantly. Barking if the poor child jumps in a puddle.
You never hear them advise you to make sure theyâre loved, comfortably and happy.
And you never ever hear them say have fun with your child. They really are tremendous fun when the personality starts coming through

Youâre after figuring out the benefits of breastfeeding eventually. We knew you would get there

A couple of months ago Master Goode, aged 2 busted his two front teeth, Ms Goode took him to Dentist, he told him he was too old for the soother, little lad never put it in his mouth againâŚgood result, although he could do fuck all for the teeth.
