Sarah, I was actually thinking about you last night. I know, how weird right! I was thinking, I remember when Sarah was just about due with miss j, and stressing about her milk coming in, asking should she start expressing colostrum to try and encourage her milk supply to come in earlier so she can breastfeed. You were so scared and you just wanted to be able to give your gorgeous princess booby milk.

And here you are, my darling, at 7 months and still breastfeeding. You've got a GORGEOUS chubba bubba to show for it. Girl, go look at your princess and remind yourself that YOU BUILT HER. For 9 months while she was growing inside, and now for 7 months growing on the outside. What would she have done without you? She has grown and thrived BECAUSE OF YOU.

Now, **** the CHN. Don't go anymore. Sometimes I wonder why we do it, you know, we want that professional approval that we are doing the right thing, but we never friggen get it! Honey, just look at your girl. YOU'RE DOING THE RIGHT THING. You are doing more than ok. You are doing fan-bloody-tastic! If you don't want to cut her down to 4 breastfeeds a day, then don't. If you do, then do it because of you, and not what some dried up old CHN (ok, projecting my own issues now, I'll stop ) thinks is best for you.

BTW, you can't cause her to be obese if you follow her hunger cues. You're teaching her to eat when shes hungry and stop when she's full. Holding out if she wants it, or force feeding her if she doesn't, is more likely to be problematic than following her lead and her letting you know if shes hungry.
