I just wanted to say thanks to everyone on here who has helped me with advice/support/encouragement and it has really helped me continue exclusively breastfeed my son.
It's been really tough and I'm amazed that I'm still going, but so happy that I am. I really want to continue for 1 year but I'll take it slowly and see how it goes.
People on here, my mum and friends in RL have been great at helping me get through the tough times and just go with what my son needs.
My MIL tried 
to help me by advocating a 3 hour feeding routine. If he was hungry before this time I had to "stretch out the time a bit....try rocking him, go for a drive in car, push in the pram". I was told to keep him on the boob for 20 minutes minimum, 40 maximum because "the hind milk only comes in after 15-20 minutes". Feed from one side only (I forget the reason behind this one).
Well I tried and ok maybe it worked for a bit but then my son let me know that being fed only every 3 hours was not enough! Step up my mum with the best words of wisdom ever: "I think he's hungry, why don't you offer him some more boob?" Thanks mum, you never breastfed any of your children but you have been amazing and so helpful.
And thank you to everyone on here, you helped me realise that actually my MIL was talking bolloks, she doesn't really know what she's talking about and the best thing I ever did was slow down, listen to my baby and listen to my body and realise that babies don't work on routines!!!
Sorry for the ramble...wish I could tell my MIL to her face how very wrong she was but I can't so here is the next best place
