Alex was born 5/2 via c-section after 24 hours of labor and many drugs. He latched in the recovery room and a couple times the next day but refused after that. The hospital LC hooked me up with formula and an SNS. I was exhausted enough and scared enough that I figured LC = good advice. We got home on 5/4 and ( Read more... )

It's a British sketch-comedy show... One of the bits is a son of about mid-30's, his fiance, and the guy's parents...

Miidle of a conversation, he'll look at his mother and go "Biddy...", and will say it repeatedly and louder each time until she breastfeeds him...

Don't be that, and I don't think breast feeding a lil longer is any issue... :)

Shannon~you def. have experienced some up's and downs and can share much of that to newbies. You can be their rock when times get rough during troubles. You've come so far with your little guy. I'm so glad that you did stick to your guns on breastfeeding. So many are easily convinced by parents, family and friends that it's just much easier to just give them formula. I hope that you can breastfeed Alex for as long as you can, and for as long as he wants it.
