Such a wonderful post and thank you for sharing your personal experience. I know my sisters both had a lot of issues breast feeding their first born. I watched them struggle and cried because I think most moms want the best for their babies. I was quite proud of my younger sister for not caring about what others might say. She breast fed her younger baby all the way till he was almost three. I know most people say what the hell, but this is the reason she has such a bond with her son. He is also the healthiest baby/kid I know. Breast milk has everything a human baby needs. It is the best nourishment for babies.

I am glad you left your ex. Sounds like a horrible human being. Your little bean is so precious. Just looking at that photo made me smile.
