Two years. We've been going for 2 years. Wow. I knew I'd go for a
year, but didn't think beyond that. And he loves his mama milk!! :-)

I just got our hospital records (I had a feeling that they might have
given P a bottle of formula when I was in recovery, hence his allergies.
They didn't), and I was reading about how he latched on correctly---he's
a bit of a stickler for getting things right---and was doing well
(except for the dropping off to sleep thing). Wild.

Congrats on going to 2 years - we will be 2 years with ds2 in another month.
I am also quite surprised by this - after weaning early with ds1, I was very
keen to go at least 12 months and have just kept going on and on. Not quite
sure when we'll end up weaning. Am I correct in P being short for Patrick
(from another post) - love the name, - we named our first boy Patrick - kept
on with the Celtic theme with ds2 Angus.

On another note, do you really think that one bottle of formula would
automatically cause allergies. I might be reading too much into your
wording and dont assume I think formula is fine. It is obvious that there
is heaps wrong with the stuff and I would be absolutely livid if my child
was given formula in hospital against my express wishes. It just seems to
me to be a bit of an over-reaction to assume that one bottle would
definitely result in allergies - isnt it just about percentages and risk
factors. By refusing formula and being careful with solids and exclusively
bf for at least 6 months (or more), we are just attempting to load the dice
against allergies but it might still be possible if we are unlucky - by
being careful, we are just doing everything possible to prevent a negative
outcome which may or may not be preventable. This isnt a criticism; as we
fortunately have not had to deal with this problem, I am not as
well-informed as others on this one.
