Boob

[Knitting Jo]

I was definitely breastfed. My mum had a severe oversupply problem. She said that even when I was 6 months while I was feeding on one side, she just held a bottle to her nipple on the other side and it would fill up from milk spurting out with the let down!

Boob here, was not a healthy child either and Liam's dad was bottle fed and is a genius and member of mensa and healthy as they come

My sisters am I were breastfed - my elder sister was 6 weeks early so was fed expressed breast milk for a while but none of us had formula.

Also my family never questions whether I am still feeding (DS is 13mths) where other people seem to think I should be "cutting back" now hes older .

My sister and I were never given boob juice , we were born 80 and 85.
Doesn't seem to have done us too bad, altho as a bub I had pretty bad reflux which mum now thinks was a milk allergy (like my girls have).

Abbey fed til she self weaned at 19 months and Claire is still feeding about 5 times a day at 18months and is welcome to do so til she self weans as well

Boob til 6 weeks, then formula. Mum apparently 'hated' doing it, but her OB told her she had to for 6 weeks at least. So to 6 weeks to the day we were fed, but not after that.

Mum was horrified when I fed Rhiannon til she was 2. She's warmed to the idea now, and is actually quite supportive of me feeding Ayla for as long as I want!

Mum had to give up bf me at about 3 months as I had severe reflux. She was told to switch to formula. My oldest brother, however, was breastfed until he's 18 months old and he's a surgeon...I wonder why

I decided to bottlefeed Becky when she's about 2 months old Not really what I wanted but I had no support re: bf'ing and my mum had no idea why my boobs weren't filled with milk. My nipple was inverted and Becky didn't want to suck (she didn't even want to suck the other nipple ). I didn't produce milk, she was hungry...s we had to choose to bottlefeed.
