My sisters and I were all breastfed. I was the longest at 18 months. Mum was a member of the Nursing Mother's Association which she said provided so much support to her. She tells me stories of horrid child health nurses pressuring her to comp feed because her milk wasn't good enough. Thankfully my mum knew better. . My Mum demand fed, wore us in slings, co-slept which in the early 80's made her a 'Hippy'. Mum has always been very encouraging if me bf'ing my sons. Thankfully in our family breastfeeding is considered normal.

I should also say my 90 year old Grandmar breastfed all her 4 kids which in the 50's was revolutionary.
