I am just revisiting this thread as I'm sentimental tonight. I cannot even remember DD screaming for hours at night or taking an hour to feed!
I LOVE Breastfeeding now, even though DD is being problematic (screamy) and possibly refluxy with random day feeds at the moment. I've had a rewarding work career, high achieving academic history and many personal achievements but breastfeeding is definitely one of my proudest achievements. I love that this tiny raw human is growing plump and developing beautifully through my own milk and nothing else.
That's all! Thank you all so much for your support and help. I'm still asking a zillion questions but the journey has been massive.
i love reading updates like this (not the refluxey part, obviously) & i think it's so awesome that you perservered. seeing your baby grow & flourish with your milk is an amazing journey
and it's amazing how you forget some of the tougher things or that, in hindsight, you don't think were that bad afterall!
