With DS1 I bowed to pressure because I "didn't have enough milk" and gave him formula. With DS2 I was much more informed and had a wonderful MCHN (who was also a lactation consultant) and we successfully breastfed for nearly 14 months - I was aiming to get to 6 months!
During those times when my LO wanted to cluster feed I practically had my boobs out all day so he could just feed, feed, feed. This would go on for about three days at a time then he would slip back into the more regular times of feeding.
BTW, some awesome advice on this thread ..... you ladies should all pitch in and write a book!
Oh and, need I say it? I think you're doing a wonderful job!!
