I am just curious. ?Do you plan to ebf your 2nd for one year? ?I know every child is different. ?But is it your goal? ?I was just wondering what you thoughts are on it now.

?

Just to add, I totally support your decision, just curious. ?Since we learn things as we go.?

    Yeah, if this one will go for it I'd like to. DS would be a much different child if I had forced him to follow everyone elses guidelines.  He's still somewhat picky about food (but dh and I were as children and dh is even now but getting better), but what he does love he'll eat and eat and eat and most of it is healthy so I have no complaints.  And to honest it really was the easiest decision I've made aside from cloth diapering with him.  I knew he was getting everything he needed, and once we got the hang of things was just so much easier for us and didn't have to worry if he was getting enough solids.  But if this one decides that exclusivity is not for them and really has an interest in food then obviously I'll follow those cues and still bf in addition to solids.

    And at this point I'm no longer offended if anyone thinks it's gross.  I'll be honest I think formula is gross, but I completely understand the necessity of it and am thankful that it's there for the families that have need to use it so I'm not blasting it if anyone decides to twist my words.  I was forced to give DS formula for a couple days in order to leave the hospital with him because my milk hadn't come in after my c/s.  And it was the worst spit up and diapers.  And when we're out I can tell just by the smell of dirty diapers which babies are formula fed.  It's just not for me and I'm glad that I've been able to have the breastfeeding relationship I was hoping for.  I keep getting the pressure here to wean DS and I just brush them off for the most part or come here to vent because then I can look back and laugh.  I have the support I need to keep going since that's what DS wants.  He's not ready to wean emotionally and I'm not willing to force him.  I grew up with the mindset that there's nothing wrong with it until the child is ready to wean.  But, I do appreciate any extra support I get.  Smile

    Totally, I was just curious as far as food, etc. ?And if that's what you planned the second time. ?We started solids at 7.5 months and that was right for us. ?No idea how it will be the second time. ?:o)
