Nursing Mothers' Association of Australia

“When a new baby is expected mother has 9 months to prepare the family and the kitchen for her departure!”

“Assuming mother's absence is only for a short time, don't be too concerned if you find yourself being more relaxed than she is over what the children eat. It is far better to maintain harmony and let mother cope with the problem later. You can use the excuse "You are only having this because Mummy's in hospital!".”
