It was the least natural thing ever for me , and I only stayed with it because it was cheaper than formula . Ha ! So many new clothes and nipple ointments and pillows , etc . , I spent so much money . And then to find out that formula fed babies sleep through the night more often ? Ugh . I ' ll concur that there is a turning point after a while . Now at nearly 6 months I no longer hate it , although I haven ' t come around to loving it yet . <| sep |> Does your laptop have a Function lock key ? You might need to toggle it <| sep |> For those who are really afraid of swimming , going to a shallower pool and learning to swim is a good way of gradually losing that fear because you ' ll be able to stand up and walk . Same thing goes for cycling , or so I ' ve heard . If you ' ve never learned to ride a bike , don ' t start with stabilisers you ' ll just become reliant on them , but you won ' t learn much . Instead , lower the saddle so you can walk or at least waddle even when you ' re astride the bike . Sit on the saddle and just scoot along , taking longer and longer scoots until you feel confident enough to put one foot on the pedal . Then try both feet , if just for a second or two , then try both with a bit of pedalling , knowing you can go back to scooting anytime you feel shaky , and then finally try cornering with both feet on . After a while , hopefully you will have taught yourself to ride a bike . The other thing that ' s probably helpful is just knowing how a bike works i . e . how it stays upright and why you don ' t need to feel worried about lateral instability . I won ' t try to explain here but you can easily google that . I have a friend who ' s never learned , he has a problem with his foot and also his coordination . I still think it would be easy for him to learn if he just tried , because once you get the hang of it , it ' s completely not about balance I have pretty terrible balance , but I can cycle drunk without even thinking about balance . Nohanded requires a bit more skill and concentration but as long as both hands are on the bars and you ' re travelling at a fair speed , it ' s a walk in the park except cycling ! Frustratingly though , my friend won ' t even let me help I really want to try teaching someone to learn to ride but he isn ' t confident enough even to try .
