I think it's great that so many were able to successsfully BF their children so well for so long. I BF oldest DD until she was around 18 months, but only occasionally then. I stopped BF mostly around 9 weeks when I had to go back to work FT, and she just seemed to take a bottle better than the breast. With 2nd DD, I was able to BF until about 18 months-20 months. I worked in a fast food restaurant after both girls were born, so it was very difficult finding a place ot time to pump. I do regret that I wasn't able to BF longer. I didn't get alot of support from my family, but alot from my DMIL.
I wish that the nurses and lactation consultant were more honest in the hospital. Both DD's had latching on issues initially, and they helped me greatly, but they did tend to emphasize the good about BF and gloss over the potential problems. By the time I had DD2, I knew that it wasn't necessariy going to be easy because I had issues with my 1st DD. I had issues with 2nd DD, but I did persevere much longer with her than I did my 1st. It was such a wonderful experience. Congratualtions to you all.
