Breastfeeding Moms are so wonderful! This is a lovely breastfeeding story. It was left as a comment by a BF Mom who joined our circle of Happy Breastfed Babies.
I have two boys 9 and 18 months. I breastfed them both.
I wish there had been a site like this one with so much positive support when I was nursing my oldest. I was a single mom, and I had no support. I ended up giving in and bottle feeding because it was easier.
Now, after becoming a mom again, and having the ability to breastfeed again, I see now where I missed out on a great bonding experience with my first. I think it is so important to have that positive encouragement.
With my youngest, I was able to breastfeed him up to 13 months when he weaned himself. It was not the awful experience I had encountered before. I enjoyed the closeness that I was able to have with my son, and the support that I received from my husband, my family and friends. I was sad when he weaned, but I was happy I was able to breastfeed.
Thank you for helping bring to light that breastfeeding is a natural gift that we as mothers have. God Bless!

What a wonderful site! Just saw your ad in "Active Moms" -- a Phoenix, AZ publication. I have a 3 month and 3 year old -- both are still breastfeeding (often publicly) and neither took the bottle. My 3 year old refused from day one and I don't know that I'll even bother with my 3 month old. Another wonderful group for breastfeeding support is La Leche League. Yay for happy breastfed babies!
I just saw your ad in "Active Moms" and thought i would check it out and its very nice! I have a 7 month old son named Ameer and he has been nursing since day one and no bottles. I think a site like this is wonderful for support. In the begining I had a hard time and without support I may have given up, but I had a great support system and still do! YAY HAPPY BREASTFED BABIES!!!!!
