I breastfed all three of my children until toddlerhood and found it the most amazing experience. I will do it again if I ever have any more children. Like you I weaned my first daughter earlier than I would have liked simply because I was back at work and found it happened almost accidentally due to supplementing with formula. The second time around was much better as my daughter more or less self-weaned. And my son has just recently stopped breastfeeding after 25 months! You're right about Andi's book. I reviewed it a while back and thought it was a little gem - especially for a first-time mother who doesn't know who to turn to or whether what she's experiencing is normal or not!

I breastfed my daughter for 15 mos. and my 7 month old shows no signs of giving up mommy milk any time soon. I am so fortunate to be able to feed on demand and have such great support for breastfeeding in my husband. Our daughter, now 3, has hardly ever been sick. Go breast milk!!! I'd love to read the book. I love your site.

I was really lucky to not have any problems with the first but I had some problems nursing my second which I didn't expect at all considering the first had done so well. I can definitely identify with your walk down memory lane. I just weaned my son (almost 3 now) and it was quite a better experience than weaning my girl. I miss it a lot. If I win the book, I plan to read it first then pass it along to a really close girlfriend of mine who is still nursing her second child, now almost one year old. (or possibly donate it to my local LLL group) This is the first time I have read your blog, by the way, and I can't wait to read more. I happened to run out of dishwasher detergent unexpectedly with a full load of dishes all ready to be washed and a snowstorm on the way so I started searching around for an all natural substitution. I love the natural dishwasher soap recipe you provide as I had all of those ingredients on hand and my dishes have never been so clean. (I regularly use 7th generation but I love your recipe even more) So thanks for your blog and all the information you provide on your site. It really saved me.

I just made it past the first year mark with my daughter and have managed to work now without pumping and still continuing to breastfeeding (working part time). I've often thought it would be great if there was a breastfeeding survival guide other then what LLL has out right now. Breastfeeding is a battle against society it seems like at every stage. Right now I'm in the "I don't really need to give my breastfeeding child milk" and "yes, breastmilk IS FOOD" stage. Luckily no one has mentioned weaning yet.
