Breastfeeding... my take

My oldest son was born early, had severe reflux and colic. I was only 21 and a single mom, so I gave up and six weeks and did special formula.

My middle is my Stepson, and he was formula fed. Which is easier for a 50/50 custody obviously.

Well my husband and I's shared child I decided to Breastfeed. My milk came before the baby this time, night before the c-section I pumped a little colostrum. When books say there will be discomfort they are sugar coating is. The 6 first weeks of breastfeeding is like boot camp you make it past that and you are gold.  I have had a love hate relationship with breastfeeding since day 1.

Yet here I am still doing it, for a two year old. Only reason is his Nut Allergy to be honest... I am slowly weaning him. Atleast he is out of my bed now.

But my take is this, breastfeeding is a personal choice, just dont make excuses for your choice. Stick to yourself, and do what you want for your child, and you. Dont be afraid to ask questions, and always do you own research, we have the technology.
