Women today need more support, and the community needs to be more receptive to bf mothers
Well said and so true. And from me too, congratulations. Making it past 6 months, especially after initial difficulties is a huge effort.

I totally agree with your post and for my part I bf in public all the time and proudly tell people that I will feed for as long as DS wants to and that the WHO recommendation is at least 2 yrs. This is my bit for trying to promote bfing as the norm. I reckon if just one woman is influenced and bfs for longer than I have made a small difference. And if we all make a small difference, it becomes a huge difference.

The other thing which really amazes me is why people think ffing is easier. TBH I have never used formula so I don't know what is involved exactly, but surely being able to go out without taking bottles and powder and having to warm stuff up, to just be able to feed your baby by lifting your top, surely nothing could be easier than that?
