    Smile I'm so proud

    Tomorrow my baby boy turns one. And he has never had a drop of formula. I'm so proud because I stood up for him many times. When he was in NICU and the nurses were rolling their eyes because I insisted on giving expressed milk instead of formula. . . when he dropped to 3rd percentile, and instead of switching to formula, I had my breast milk fat/calorie content analyzed to prove my milk was higher calories than formula. . . when my mom suggested I just "get him off the boob". . . and with all the other "stuff" that goes along with breastfeeding. . . I stuck with it and did what I know in my heart is best for my little guy. I continued breastfeeding. And now at one year old, we are going to keep at it and see where it takes us!
    I never thought I'd be here at one year! ! !

    DS 6/7/11 - Still night & morning nursing, but the rest of the time he just doesn't have time for me! After mostly working at home, gleefully packed away the pump at 11 months.

    Another on the way in October 2013!
