I just wanted to update and thank everyone for their support.

We are now just passed the 6 months and we are still BF (although not fully)

I know that if i could have dedicated all my time to DD for a couple of days when we reestablished we would of kicked the bottles completely, but it wasn't possible so i have been able to accept that at least she is getting some of my breastmilk and we will keep going as long as possible. Bring on 12 months.

Thank you again to the lovely ladies who offered me their support & wisdom.
