Props to you for handling it so graciously. Good milk from a good source is a great nutrition for a baby, but totally not essential. Bummer you felt guilted for it :-( Keep up the good work feeding her healthy foods!

Now that she is almost 1 year old I am not ready to give it up yet and I don't think she is either. So, we will take it one day at a time until we are ready. So grateful to be able to nurse!Janessahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08189718255399155790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3756132507658331404.post-25055963124926703012014-03-06T14:35:13.807-08:002014-03-06T14:35:13.807-08:00I love this!!

Emma was latched right away. Im so pleased the parents of the baby I am carrying want my breast milk for their baby!! Its a wonderful informed world we live in now. I hope more women continue to educate themselves and strive for breastfeedibg. ��Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03478895917990797817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3756132507658331404.post-48562942354025618412014-03-06T13:22:02.642-08:002014-03-06T13:22:02.642-08:00I know exactly how you feel about having a petite ...I know exactly how you feel about having a petite baby :) Grace is 18 months now and is in the 4% for weight and 10% for height. Luckily I have a good pediatrition who always assured me she was fine, just petite. But oh man all the moms that have come up to me and told me that there must be something wrong with my daughter because she is so small or asking me if I feed her! (She is a great eater but she doesn't eat any processed foods!) I have learned to just smile and walk away! I nursed Grace until she was 16 months and I miss it. For us nursing was never a problem, the problem came after, she does not like milk at all! (That was when I didn't like my pediatrician because he made me feel bad that she wouldn't drink milk and that I needed to force her to drink it.) After trying a few different types of milk, she will now drink about 8 ounces of Vanilla Almond milk a day. Your such an awesome mom for making all those sacrifices for Jeremy to breast feed as long as possible. Hopefully this next little girl won't have all the allergy problems that Jeremy does.

I rember my original goal was to make it 6 months to a year, but then a year came, her allergies were diagnosed, and our allergist recommended we keep going if possible!. So we did! We are down to morning and evening feeds, and the end is near, but what a sweet time it has been. It's about the only time she wants to snuggle. Nature's perfect food!Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10537582893745116257noreply@blogger.com
