The more I stopped listening to the "experts" and just did what felt right for us the easier it got. Not to say there are some days that I wish I didn't have to whip out the boob or could sleep through the night but I know that when it is over I will miss it and think it went too fast.

I nursed all three of my girls, and I learn more about breast milk each time!! My youngest baby was born 2 months early, and I actually learned so much about preemie breast milk from Dr. Sears! I highly recommend his books to anyone. I am still nursing my third baby, we are on month 12! I nursed all three of my girls, and I learn more about breast milk each time!!

I plan to fully breastfeed for at least 6 months (I'm hoping a year) on my new born. He is due Sept 27. I will definitely have to check out some of these book you recommend. I have a 2 year old and didn't get a chance to breastfeed long with her (3 months). I blame myself for lack knowledge and the doctors for lack of breastfeeding support. So I'm trying to arm myself with more knowledge this time. Thanks for writing this great article. I plan to fully breastfeed for at least 6 months (I’m hoping a year) on my new born.

I did want to make a note though, that co-sleeping does not work for every family the way it worked for you. My son is nine months old, and I've been night nursing him laying down in our bed since he was born. Unfortunately, I am not as lucky as you are to be able to sleep while he nurses. I SO wish I could! Because of this problem, I have been in a state of constant exhaustion since my son was born. I've NEVER had a decent night of sleep in nine months! I recently reached a point where I couldn't take what it was doing to my health and mental state, and I have moved my son to a crib. I wish I would have done it months ago! Just another point-of-view........ I love reading your blog and love that you are getting the word out about the wonderful benefits of breastfeeding!
