Skinny Marie this is an awesome piece of your heart that you have written down for us all to see. i didn't even want to BF K! I felt so pushed into and at the same time so unknowledgable about it all, i thought ok i;ll feed for two weeks to shut them all up! then it was 3 mths, then 6, then 12 and you know the rest! Its such an empowering thing to do and you are amazing in the way you have changed your thinking about BF. Drew is still BF morning and night and we are all happy with that so you have to do what is right for you and Lady Bug! You have all of our support! Love you xxx

Thanks so much for sharing your story Lees. OMG I got such a happy surprise at the end when I scored a mention *mwah* I'm really touched that my journey has meant something to you too.

This blog post is so inspiring, to all those who think they can't feed because they didn't feed their first or their second etc etc! What a great peice to have on the internet for all to learn from. And you're the reason people like me and Kint are becoming breastfeeding counsellors (and Sarah will...just wait, she so will LOL), the more women like the four of us means less women will have to deal with those feelings of grief and sadness you and Kint have faced *hugs*

A very inspiring piece of writing.

It's been truly amazing to watch your attitude towards breastfeeding change over the past few years. You've put in so much work getting to where you are so I'm glad things are going so well for you. I love being able to talk to you about BF now and know that you "get" why I love it.

hugs leesa... i know exactly how you feel.. i have low supply and need to take medication twice a day to maintain enough to feed stella... however, with xave this wasn't picked up.. so within 2 weeks he was on full formula feeds. I understand the guilt, the regret and the sadness... i also understand the feelings you are having now as liv approaches her 1st birthday. I was going to feed stels for 6 months but as that approached i bumped it to 12 months but now as that approaches i find myself like you, saying 18 months then we see again.. i know in my heart that a feed morning and night until she is 2 will be just fine with me, but yet i still let the disapproval of those around me creep in.
Lets support each other, as breastfeeding mothers of last children, who know how it feels to have it ripped away from you without your real consent... in feeding the beautiful ladybugs who love their boobies oh so much.
