I needed these words (especially the ones about formula) with my first. I had a lower-than-average supply with my second baby too (though better than with my first). It took a good deal of coaching (including a prenatal consult with a very respected LC who gave me the PTSD counseling I really needed), and discovering the wonder of donor milk to get me through, but I want you to know I am still nursing my 22 month old, and that you ARE a breastfeeding mom, WITH a breastfed baby, and your breastfeeding "success" may look different than your next door neighbor's (then again your academic success probably looks different than your next door neighbor's too-- do you know how few 29 year old women have their PhD's in hard sciences??? You GO GIRL!), but it's still YOUR success. The road of parenting is long and hard, and you're doing a great a job. Hang in there.arlingtoniennehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17093339729617428724noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4673509264429605023.post-52712777472572982172014-03-06T00:52:40.623-05:002014-03-06T00:52:40.623-05:00Amen sister <3Amen sister <3p_braynshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06038211782749716864noreply@blogger.com
