I am so happy that I have stuck it out as long as I have. It has been a struggle. We had a horrible latch issue in the beginning, really sore nipples, (cracked and bleeding alot), and could not figure out how to pump anything at all.
I managed to keep going despite all that, and am proud to say that I have made it to 6 months! I do supplement about a bottle a day, so cannot take credit for EBF, but I am still thrilled. Now I just need to decide on how much longer I would like to go. I'm thinking I might try for a year.
Thank you to all of you who have been here for me with much needed advice and keeping me company on my overnight shifts at work!
