Yup, I just couldn't wait...

Okay... I confess, I'm two days early... but I figure, surely nothing drastic can happen in two days and noone is ever online on weekends, so....

WE DID IT!!

We have been breastfeeding for six months!
I am so absolutely thrilled to be here, and to be sharing this with you.

There is no way I would have done this without BellyBelly. Heck, without BellyBelly , my boobies wouldn't have been put through the ringer, they just would have been hung up to dry from the get go...

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!
(plus a million more)
to all of the women who have been a never ending inspiration, motivation and who have always shown me a 'light at the end of the tunnel'.
This would not be possible without your support.

*mwa*

Congratulations Cookiemonster!!

That is wonderful news!! I am so happy for you!! I know what you mean about BellyBelly, there is always someone here giving great advice and listening to us vent. What would we do without this wonderful place?

Awesome news! Well done to you both. I can't believe A is already 6 months old though!

**Shanti** · August 21st, 2008, 06:54 PM

Hi,

That first 6 mnths went by so fast.....for us

Good on you - you have done such a great job - working through your problems; I know it hasn't always been easy.
Mother to mother breastfeeding support - it is evidence based best practice for helping mums to breastfeed longer.

Regards
Barb
