I breastfed Hope for 1 year and 2 weeks. I had to stop because my doctor
changed my antidepressants while I was pregnant with my second...

BF & Sitcoms Revisited by
Belphoebe
I know this topic has come up before--I've even read some of the old threads
on Google. But I've been watching (too many) syndicated reruns lately, and
I've been noticing some things I don't think were discussed the last few
times this came up. . . .

Felt bad by
Herself
While out enjoying ourselves today, P was playing near a woman with a 5
week old in a stroller. I asked all the nice questions, then asked if
she was still nursing. She said no, gave up at 2.5 weeks, cause "he's a
hungry baby". Sigh. I made sure to say that P was still nursing at 19
months, and...

Road Trip with 4 Week Old - Advice Please! by
Kasey
I'm beginning to think that this was a crazy idea. We're leaving on
Wednesday for a 10+ hour road trip with our 4 week old, exclusively
breastfed son. He only sleeps for a maximum of 2 - 2.5 hours at a time, so
this could make for a very long trip! We're going to break the drive up over
two days,...

a nursing toddler's prayer by
Karen Askey
We've started to say prayers outloud at bedtime. I asked DS (2.5 yrs) what he
wanted to thank God for, and he looked at the ceiling and said, "The fan." I
said for him to think of something a little better and he said, "The t.v." I
said to think one more time about something he really was...

We made it! And 6 month WBV by
Jodie
Well, 6 months was my original "long-term" bfing goal. We achieved that
this past Monday, with no desire on her part or mine to stop anytime
soon. Personally, I never thought I'd make it this long, but the
thought of not nursing her, even someday, breaks my heart at the moment.
Had the 6 month...
