    Talking We made it!

    I know it's not a big deal for those of you who feed into toddlerhood, but yesterday was Phoebe's birthday which means she has been breastfeeding for 12 months!
    Natty and I only made it to 11 months and I was really cheesed off about that - my goal was 12 months and we missed out by a tiny bit.
    Phoebe's and mine has been a bit of a rough road - I had to return to work much earlier than I would've liked so had to introduce a bottle. We had some overnight breast refusal.
    My RHS is a complete dud. So we feed solely from the LHS. I never feel like I don't have enough for her even though at work I don't have a moment to stop and think about expressing let alone going to express. Just feeding either side of my work-day and a couple overnight has kept my supply up with her demand!
    She still loves to breastfeed and the relaxed feeds we have in the middle of the night are still some of my most treasured moments with her.
    Sorry for the completely self-absorbed post but I honestly didn't think we would make it... and we did! Whatever happens now I am happy.
    Thanks for listening!
