so proud

[topazicatzbet]

sorry just a bit of a brag post.

i didnt have any success with ds1 and only breast fed for a week then switched to expressing for another 3 before switching to ff.

i really wanted to give it another go this time, and with the help of a lactation support worker and the local bf group i have hit my target of 8 weeks. so proud of myself for sticking with it and working through the latch issues, thrush, and over supply and fast letdown.

my little dude had his 8 week check today and has gone from 8lb1 at birth to 12lb 12oz.

im loving bf this time round even with him feeding every 2 hrs. before he was here i could only see myself doing it for a max of 12 weeks or so and didnt fancy doing it past 6 months, (i didnt like the thought of personally feeding an older child) but now i just want to feed as long as he needs it.

I didn't know you had had another baby! Congratulations, and well done with the breastfeeding too!

Yay! Good for you. You must be dead proud

I love reading these posts because it gives me hope that things could be different for me with a second baby. Wonderful!

Hope you keep going for as long as you and your baby are loving it.
