with DD1 I breast feed for 4 months. It was a hard struggle and I had no support from her Dad, my milk dried up from stress.
With DS1 I feed him until I had to return to full time work he was 10 months.
DS2 arrived and latched himself on straight away, he seemed to be a natural, I however was a major stress head and was sure I never had enough milk for him. Our first few months were very rocky and he became fussy at the breast. I was sure our journey would end before he reached 6 months.
He is now approaching 18 months and is still a champ at feeding. I sometimes get a bit tired as he still tends to feed at least 5 times a day, if we skip a feed he wakes in the night to catch it up. He is a good eater and has lots of snacks etc through the day as well as his main meals.
I was recently thinking of starting to try and reduce his feeds a bit. I would be happy with a morning and night feed but only time will tell.
I never thought i would be feeding past 12 months.
Breast feeding is our special time and when we bond, he is such an active busy little man that its the only time he is still..
