With Yasin I wanted to feed to 1 year but he self weaned and had his last ever booby feed at 11 months and 1 week. I think it might have been because I was pregnant and the combination of my sore nipples and funny tasting milk meant that it just wasn't really working. I felt a bit rejected at the time because he seemed so keen on formula when I started to worry about the amount he was drinking and tried him on it. Now I wonder if I did the wrong thing by offering formula instead of working more at increasing my supply. I geuss I feel a little guilty because I failed to achieve my breastfeeding goal .
With Imran I'm hoping to breastfeed until 18 months to 24 months. Hopefully I've learnt a bit from Yasin about not being too quick to offer formula but I feel a little guilty that Imran will have the benefits of breastfeeding for longer than Yasin did.
Anywayz.....what are/were your breastfeeding goals? Have you achieved them, adjusted them or did you never have any goal in mind.
Please do share.
