AW: Made it to my 6 month bfing goal!

laura&dan05

Now that I made it to 6 months we're not stopping and my new goal is 1 year!  It was really really rough in the beginning and I always say if dd was my 2nd baby I don't think I would have made it bfing her past 4 weeks because it was so tough.  I struggled with not knowing how much she was eating at each feeding and dd had issues when I ate dairy.  There were many tears from both of us at first.  My early goals were 8 weeks, 12 weeks, 15 weeks, and then 6 months.  We've always struggled (and still do) with the bottle and her refusal to take one so we've been slowly introducing the sippy cup and it's going well.  We use the sippy when I'm away from her.  I'm really proud of both of us for making it this far!

Congratulations!!  I had a very similar experience with my first ... I didn't think I'd ever make my original goal of 6 months.  But once we made it past the first couple months it was smooth sailing and I passed 6 mos and then a year, and ended up weaning at close to 15 mos. I would've gone to 18 months or even 2 yrs, but I wanted to start treatment for #2 so I had to wean for that reason.
