6 months breastfeeding :-)

[Geordie&Bairn]

I wasnt going to post this but im feeling quite proud 8) of myself for geting to 6 months and still going strong with the breastfeeding

I never new just how hard sometimes it would be and its left me in tears but im a stubborn person and ddint give up
I will continue to breastfeed for as long as Collier needs me hoping to get to a year but will not beat myself up if he weans off earlier

That made me curious about what the US is like (since that is where I am from originally), and each state varies- there are some in the 90% area! This is the national average according to the CDC (Center for Disease Control). I wonder why it is so much better.

Percent Ever Breastfed 74.2
Percent Breastfeeding at 6 Months 43.1
Percent Breastfeeding at 12 Months 21.4
Percent Exclusive Breastfeeding at 3 Months 31.5
Percent Exclusive Breastfeeding at 6 Months 11.9
