I think it finally happened...

I think I've reach that point where I don't mind breastfeeding.

I don't even consider swapping a breastfeed for formula because breastfeeding is easier and more enjoyable.

I honestly wasn't sure if I would ever reach this point but I have...Hooray!

Well done! It's a leap of faith in the beginning. How old is your baby?

Brilliant :o How old is your LO?

Just turning 20 weeks

Coming up to 6 months, the point at which people start asking 'when are you going to stop?'

Please continue for as long as you want. You have put a lot of effort into reaching this point, make the most of it for as long as possible!

Well done you :)

I am nearly 5 weeks into BF. had so much pain, mastitis, open wound but i dont want to give up now!!

Still feeding through the pain, giving my bad side a rest today by expressing, but feeding still on myrigh and the occasional feed on the left.

I can't WAIT for the pain to go away, i really enjoy feeding but the pain is so immense that I haven't fed in public yet either. otherwise i'll probably be arrested for swearing lol

i'm taking each day as it comes, i truely do want the pain to go so i can embrace feeding!!

It took me about that long too OP. For at least the first four months I used to go and stare longingly at cartons of formula in Boots

And yes belgo - DD is seven months and I love feeding her now, but suddenly everyone is all "are you still breastfeeding "

Anyway, well done it's easy peasy from now on!

My DH was originally thought it was weird to BF past 6 months but has since read the WHO guidelines and is totally supportive of BFing as long as I want.

:) Good for you - and for your DH.

Dozeyland, well done for keeping going this far. One day at a time is exactly the right way - hope it improves very soon.

when it's good it's really really good and when it's bad it's horrid.
