One year anniversary (a little late)
I don't know if anybody remembers me, but I posted here quite a bit
when I was pregnant with Victoria. I was only able to nurse my other two children for a combined total of four months, and I was determined to breastfeed Victoria. I got some excellent input from people here, but what helped me the most were the (numerous) suggestions that I not let my bad LLL experience prevent me from seeking out RL help. I had Victoria in May of 2002, and we did have some problems in the beginning. I did call the LLL counselor, with some trepidation. She wrote me long letters and came to the house twice to help me. Her advice was *right on* and I breastfed Victoria exclusively for the entire three months I was out of work and for 2-1/2 months entirely with EBM. After a while I couldnt' keep up the EBM, but she only got one four-ounce bottle of formula a day until I lost my job in January, after which she was exclusively breastfed again until she went to regular milk. We are still doing several feedings a day, and I'm really not looking to wean even though she eats and drinks many other things, including cow's milk. Anyway, thought I would share and say thank you as our 14-month anniversary approaches. Anne |

What were your bad experiences with LLL? You can email me privately if you
want. "Anne Robotti" wrote in message ... I don't know if anybody remembers me, but I posted here quite a bit when I was pregnant with Victoria.
