So glad I remembered this thread was around!

And so nice to read that other mummies feel as pro BF as me

DS is coming up to 5 months & I'm starting to think about BLS after 6 months as well.... I'm loving now that he is exclusively BF... I've bought a pump but yet to use it as I don't want to share feeding times with the bottle, lol

Strangelk, I'm with you - most people don't understand BF isn't always easy.
This time around I've had attachment issues (due to bub being premmie & away from me for an extended time at birth), mastitis, bleeding nipples & extremely painful Reynauds in my nipples... but never once considered FF.
I just love it too much

A little sad, my 17yr old niece asked me a few weeks ago ''so how long until he's on the bottle?''... she had no idea that you BF after a few weeks of bringing bub home as she's never known anyone to do it (I BF DS1 for 12 months, but she was only 5yrs at the time so wouldn't remember).
That shows lack of info about the benefits of BF which is a bit sad.... I know she's only 17, but at that age they should start to be learning these things... there's too many girls out there having babies young & have no idea of the benefits of BF

I love looking at DS & weighing him each week knowing that he 's growing nice & strong because of me
