Ready or not.


(Indiana)

I have successfully breastfed 3 children and am currently breastfeeding my 4th....With my 1st child, I was young and undereducated so I,at the insistence of my mother-in-law, started supplementing with formula around 2 months...He ended up self-weaning at 9 months old....With my 2nd and 3rd child,they were breastfed with no supplementation...My 2nd went 22 months and my 3rd went 34 months...I believe my 3rd would've went longer had my milk not dried up due to pregnancy...She and I both cried for about a week or 2 after I dried up....
Now, on to my 4th child....She was born at 34weeks 4days gestation and happily started nursing almost right away...My struggle right now is that being premature, she is hungry all the time because she keeps falling asleep in the middle of a feeding....This is only a minor issue right now but when I have to return to work, I am worried that this will affect my supply....Here's hoping it all works out.
