LOL Barb yes its the 'other' S word :)
Thanks everyone for the support and feedback.
I'm surprised at how threatened I feel when anyone mentions S. I just looooove this time with DD and its so completely ours as I don't express for anyone else to feed her.
I also feel threatened that perhaps in 2 months time she may want to have something other than my boob! 4 months have gone so fast and I don't want this to come to an end. This feeling is pretty primal and possessive hey.
Loving the come back lines. I normally just go quiet and rage inside when confronted with S advice. Most of the time the advice comes from a good place and good people and I know they are just trying to help in their own way but it invades my space big time. xx

Hugs sweets. You just enjoy her as long as you like, you'll both know when you are ready.

Hehe, Dusty I totally know what you mean about it invading your space! AARRGGHHHH!
Just keep enjoying your time B/F missy, and who knows she might be like my DD and just decide that boobie is best - she's STILL not all that interested in solids and she's 8 months old! She likes to play with the food but boobie is what she really wants!
S xxxx

MIL has been talking about this since DS was 8 weeks old!
other family members are also asking when!!!! it is so frustrating, i dont want the time to start either, i love what we have going ATM and will miss that exclusive time once it starts! not to mention all the work thats involved and the freezer space issue lol
Dusty you are a wonderful yummy mummy!
-
Arghh.. absolutely hun!!! Stick at it - as you said it is your special time. She is still waaayyyyy too little to even have the word mentioed. Some people just don't/won't get it! I never expressed either, when DS was 9 months I had to cause I went t o work for the day. I cried when I saw him with the bottle LOL. :hug: You are doing great! xxx

The other thing that you'll find when you do eventually start the "s" word is that it is not really about food or nutrition - it's a pile of new sensations for your baby to enjoy/spit out/plaster themselves with. In other words it actually should be rather fun for both of you - when you're both ready of course.
And it makes bugger all difference to the amount of breastmilk or the nature and intimacy of breastfeeding for quite some time. It's not something to dread.

Well done to you and DD, dusty, for four fabulous months of bfing! :clap:
Enjoy this special time (for at least another two months...). ;)

Oh I just love the responses in here. Dusty I was wondering how you are and found this thread. I have to agree with the girls...with no experience to back me up. IMO it is such a personal thing...and hey i know of heaps of bubs that have gone much longer and benefited greatly. The world is so pressured...stay away from the pressure for as long as one can i think.
So good to here you are still out here hun and doing so well. You are a wonderful primal mumma....so incredibly gorgeous and inspiring.oxo
