Does anyone know?!

We were having a discussion today and I thought about 10% but my friend thought it was about 1%!

We did google but couldn't find anything specific to the uk!

I'd have quite liked DD2 to have kept her promise about giving up when she started school.

However, she decided weekends and holidays didn't count!

She ended up carrying on for many years.

Breast milk counts as breastfeeding.

It's exhausting! Got to the point now where I can't wait for ds2 to stop!

I know quite a few in my friendship group it's quite common. But it is quite a niche group- mothers who home educate and many are vegan, though I'm not personally.
I EBF both my birth children for 6 months and breastfed my ds1 until 4 1/2 years my youngest by birth is 13 months and I will breast feed him also until he autonomously weans himself.

I'm not a niche home educating type at all. My trade marked approach to parenting (haha) is the path of least resistance. I carried on breastfeeding for 7 yrs because it was easier than stopping. It's why I ended up co-sleeping and BLW although I don't think it was called that with DS1.
