@Espion: His latch is 100% better - for the first time I don't hurt! My supply has also already made a slight jump. The benefits were immediate! We also anticipate weaning off the hyoscyamine sulfate and Zantac - the pediatric ENT thinks those issues were due to poor latch. Now that its been 72 hours we're working on weaning off the shield. My only regret is not fighting for it sooner!

6 months and going strong. LO's been on one breast for almost 4 months. I pump the other side 4x a day just because I'm pumping the good one anyway. She has started to take the other nipple when offered but there's almost no milk. I'm sure people notice my ridiculously lopsided chest but so far nobody's made a comment. (I did notice I was flashing my smaller breast at work one day when I leaned over in a looser nursing tank. Oops!) We start solids this weekend.
LO is grabbing for all of her toys now so she pops off the nipple and immediately starts squeezing, scratching, and pinching it. Maybe she's preparing me for her teeth.

@hilsy85: yes !! picture me doing this: http://24.media.tumblr.com/9f727e39bdc46d9d7c7dee9ab1c2b1a2/tumblr_mepv4t5HCc1r4cfazo1_250.gif We went through a few weeks where he was nursing at 11 & 2 and I got in the habit of not even trying to get him to go back down without nursing.... then it started to seem like he wasn't eating much so I sucked it up and went back to patting his back... and that first night after I patted him back to sleep at 11 he didn't wake up again and then kept doing it!

It is going strong at 5.5 months. DS refuses the bottle and so is EBF. We luckily have not had any issues so far. I plan to try and introduce the bottle again at 6 months so I can pump and get a break once in a while.
When I was pregnant I thought I'd be happy if we made it a couple months. But it is going great and I hope we make it to 1 year. My plan for now is to let him decide.
