I nursed Hadley for 15 months. I know vie said this before on this little blog. But I'm proud of this. If I had a medal, I'd wear it proudly. Because breastfeeding in the beginning is hard. Really hard. Teaching yourself and your child how to do it. Cracked nipples. Bleeding nipples. Wet shirts. Mastitis. It is not easy.
But we got the hang of it. And those short term goals I made of three months. Then six months. Then a year. Came and went and we kept going. Until I decided that being knocked up and nursing was just to exhausting, so we weened.
But let's not forget, she still loves the boob.
I'm nursing Hayden now. We had a rather rough go of it, but all systems are go. I certainly do not exclusively nurse her, she gets formula, too. I just can't keep up with a very busy tot and nurse a baby. I know others can. I just have a hard time with it.
And we are now at three months. And I wonder, will I ween her earlier than I did Hadley? I suppose time will tell.
How long did you nurse your babies?
