Forum home Babies Breast & bottle feeding

Proud I've managed 9 months and still going!

I know that quite a few of you ladies on here have fed your lo's for longer, but I just wanted to say how proud I feel that I've fed my lo for 9 months and we're still going strong!! Even though she's got teeth and cheekiness now!!!

I was really worried before I had her that for some reason I wouldn't be able to feed her, I was paranoid that my small bust size would be a problem - but they went from an A cup to a DD and have fed her brilliantly. Also when she was newborn and feeding ALL the time, I thought 'Hell, I'm never going to manage this!' Really didn't think I'd manage 9 days, let alone 9 months.

So really this post is for any mommies to be looking on this forum, to say stick with it and it is so worth the effort in the early days!

  • Hi well done,
    I have bf all 3 of my children all for over a year and i have to say that they hardly ever get ill. When all the other kids are dropping like flies with tummy bugs mine (touch wood) never get it. They are all very healthy. This is, i feel ,because of the breastfeeding so stick with it its not always easy when we are tired and the only ones who can do the feeds but think of all the benefits. xx
