Breastfeeding

[Momof4]

I breastfed all of my children up to 9 months of age and it wasn't easy to keep going that long. Back in my day we only had 16 weeks of maternity leave before we had to hand our tiny 3-4 month old babies to strangers who called themselves babysitters. It is so much better today. A one year mat leave is amazing for the mothers and for the babies.

Playfelt-is 1 year no longer the time to switch to homo? Thats what it was when my 1st and 2nd born.... things change fast!!

I bf #1 until about 9months when I got preg with #2 and my supply went way down. I bf #2 until about 10m and stopped b/c I was going back to school

#3 is 4 m now and I'm not sure how long I will go, hopefully at least until 9 or 10m, a year if I can.

I bf because its free!! Its good for baby and me! Its easier, dont have to worry if I have a bottle with me and after getting past the first few weeks, I enjoy it.
