To anyone who is reading the comments on this blog: Please realise that some of these negative posts are most likely from writers hired by the formula companies or mothers who feel guilty or defensive for not breastfeeding. Understand though, it’s a sensitive subject, I still feel guilty for not breastfeeding my first child, but I know it’s not my fault. The formula companies pay off the govt. and try as they can to hide the risks of formula.

I too fed on demand… at one point when my first was almost a year old I was in a conversation with a group of women who were flabbergasted that another of the women was “strong enough” to feed on demand… i was flabbergasted that there was any other way!!! way to go!

You are an inspiration, my dear! I can't believe those idiotic midwifes, btw. A baby should eat as much as it demands from the very beginning! Sarcastic Mom's last blog post..(Breast)feeding Carnival

Awesome to hear mommies who FOLLOWED THEIR INSTINCTS and told the docs/nurses/midwives whatfor! I believe that one of the cruelest things in the medical establishment (as if we need anymore) is the damage done to natural processes such as breastfeeding. The medical establishment gets very little training when it comes to women’s health—what little is being done now really IS a revolution!

I’m proud to say little P is just NOW being weaned (he’ll be 3 in June), and I’ve loved nearly every day of it! The teeth can be a problem—but we’ve managed up until now It can be done, and extended breastfeeding is AWESOME!

I had a really hard time nursing Max, but maybe I'll save that for Lotus' carnival. My advice would be yes, to ask for help, but don't let yourself be bullied either. I was bullied all to hell when I tried to get help nursing Max. It's MUCH better to talk to a professional lactation consultant than a friend or relative, no matter how much the friend or relative thinks they know. Many hospitals offer free lactation consultant services, or you can call the local La Leche League. I nursed Max until I was 20 months, and Jessamine weaned at 26 months. Marie's last blog post..Indeed.
