I’m still breastfeeding. He’s 10 months. I thought I’d be lucky to go six weeks.

And, I had to tell everyone, including my supportive mother, to MYOB (mind your own boobs/baby). My body. My baby. My boobs.

She was all–you CAN’T give him formula. Well, J was a month early, jaundiced (with a dreaded bili blanket) and losing weight (dropping to 5 lbs 2 ounces). My milk was taking forever to come in. I was going to do everything I could to make sure he was healthy.

On the other side, my SIL said that breastfeeding beyond the first six weeks is really useless (she works at an OB’s office, thinks she’s a doctor. She’s not.) and “kinda gross.” I’d tell you what I told her, but I’d rather not spread vulgarities on your blog.

Dump Facebook. You have enough good stuff going on anyway . . .

Thanks for sharing!!!

I’ve delurked maybe I’ll be able to work up the nerve and take a breastfeeding pic…but just wanted to chime in on the low milk supply. I feel your pain. I’ve been supplementing at almost every feeding since Zach was born and when I pump, I get about the same levels as you. I’ve gone through the highs and lows…let’s just say in my case, bigger isn’t better

I wish we had gotten a good pic of me breastfeeding…too late now! I miss that closeness of feeding Zane…but I tried and made it to 6 months before my milk supply died.

Good for you for being so dedicated with how difficult it has been!

Why doesn’t the doctor want to keep prescribing Reglan? Does it have side effects?

Man I wish I had a breastfeeding picture to post today! But, none exist from when my kids are small (I don’t think) and since they are now 2 and 4.5 I’m not sure I want to try to recapture the moment in a photograph. They both might end up traumatized!! Me too, for that matter.

I know it’s hard, but don’t beat yourself up if the breastfeeding thing doesn’t work out this time. You have given it a *very* valiant effort and have given Cooper so many benefits already. It’s okay to cry about it but then remember all the GOOD things you’ve done.
