Any mom that I have encountered to date chooses to focus on my reasons for not BF'ing (which is no one's business but my own). I think most moms see it as a choice, when really they don't know the specifics. I'm definitely going to try BF'ing (again) this time around. Just recently I learned the first hour (though I'm glad you said 30mins) is crucial in forming that initial "bond" for BF'ing. Thanks for allowing me to feel more confident as a mother no matter which way I choose to feed my child(ren). <br /><br />I am curious however to see how this "new (to me) routine" will go with an almost two year old running around! Yikes! :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09922909560990054860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-635077151130554932.post-9653663509624179002013-08-10T02:00:26.063-04:002013-08-10T02:00:26.063-04:00Love your story!

I as well have a 2 year old and an 8 month old. I bf'd our first until 14 months, and yes I had someone say the whole 'You're STILL breastfeeding?!' I was also very shy with our first too, but like you said with the second, when you baby is hungry- damn right I will feed her whenever or wherever. We have the right to feed our child. I think with the 2nd it brings a lot more confidence in breastfeeding too. I'm so blessed that breastfeeding was a breeze for me and pray that it will stay the same way for the future.

He never would latch well and fell asleep at the breast constantly. The doctor's freaked me out about him losing weight and suggested I supplement. After getting used to a bottle nipple, he never would latch again. Instead I pumped for almost a year so he was almost exclusively drinking breastmilk. With my second son (due this month), I crave that one on one bonding time and really want breastfeeding to work out. I could use all the help I can get. I've been doing tons of research and buying all sorts of products to help with latch and supply.

I read this post while nursing my 1mo son, so hopefully just begining our journey. My daughter is almost 26months old....sound familiar? :) I agree the 2nd time around the hardest part is entertaining the toddler!

Breastfeeding is natural but so many people make such a big deal over it that it gets viewed negatively. Maybe with my second child I will have the same feeling you did.

But really...I wouldn't have it any other way. I have such a great sense of pride when Elliott is gaining weight and I get complimented by the doctor. Fingers crossed I hope I win this pillow...the only problem I am having is the comfort of it--I have such bad posture sometimes.Tiffany @ Austin Family Diaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13210453787492905189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-635077151130554932.post-79703579944622286722013-08-06T01:10:51.976-04:002013-08-06T01:10:51.976-04:00Great post!

I had a hard time with not being able to emotionally but at the end of the day I did what I had to do for my baby. I commend any woman who can breastfeed no matter how long you do it for.
