I'm already getting people asking me whether or not I plan on bf this baby as well. I only breastfed Matilda for 4 1/2 months for different reasons but planned on bf for over 12 months at the very least. Now I have people asking what my "plans" are... I tell them bf, and they ask "Even after what happened last time?" I can't believe that there is so much pressure to bottle feed.
Christy, isn't it amazing. No wonder people give up so easily!
The same thing happened when I announced I was pg again. I can't believe the number of people, including close family members, who told me that now I have to stop bfing Jack. My GP and Ob both told me I could keep feeding, but despite this I had a lot of pressure to stop and kept getting asked "have you weaned Jack yet?". As it turned out he self-weaned when I was about 3 1/2 months pg (I think my milk dried up). I was really sad. I sent a group email to family and friends telling them how sad I was but nearly every reply said "how good that you won't have to feed two" and "about time" or something like that. Thanks for the support!!
