Neither myself nor my younger brother were breastfed and the only memory of anyone in my family breastfeeding is a very vague one of one of my aunts who fed my cousin for about six months.
No one has fed past that so already I'm an oddity in my family.
The longest any of my friends have breastfed is 4 months.

I really don't know why I was so determined to feed Toby except that I did regret giving it up so early with Emily. And Toby was so easy to feed that I found very early on that I really, really enjoyed it so that has also made me want to keep going. I never would have thought I'd still be feeding him now, so even if we don't continue much longer I will happy with how we've done. I'd like to go to his first birthday at least, hopefully my returning to work wont' interfere too much.
