Hi everyone;
I know I want to breastfeed this baby when she arrives; but I've been thinking about how long for. Looking online they suggest into their second year.
When I had my son I breastfed him until he was being weaned. I found he was using me for comfort a lot and getting very clingy, I was extremely tired as he would feed just to fall asleep on my nipple. It wasn't too hard to get him off the breast despite being single at the time and I wonder sometimes if I did it too soon; or if I'll end up doing similar this time.
I don't know whether I want to feed for upwards of two years but I have no idea how long I do want to feed for. What are your plans? Or what experiences do you have?
