Breast milk is my ultimate reward that Gavin can never say “no” to. Okay, so this is probably not the sort of thing I should be doing, but hey, it’s effective. Whenever Gavin misbehaves, all I have to do is threatened to take away his nursing time and he immediately falls back into line. No other reward has the same effect as the promise of breastfeeding – not even chocolate, not even ice cream, not even the toy shop, although potentially the bookshop but we aren’t about to reward him with a trip to the bookshop in the middle of the night. Given how difficult Gavin can be right now, this is probably one of the easiest methods for getting his cooperation.
