My LO was 6 months as of yesterday and I've been giving her breast milk this whole time.
First, we never could get her to latch correctly (after LC visits at home, twice weekly BF support groups, physical therapy, getting tongue and lip ties clipped). So I became an exclusive pumper. And then I found out I'm prone to clogged ducts. I can't tell you how many nights I spend crying, trying to work out the millionth clogged duct.
And then we got the MSPI diagnoses as 3 months. And I freaked....but now I've been dairy and soy free for 3 months and haven't eaten in a restaurant of any kind for 2 months. =(
My social life has taken a hit, the diet sucks, and I'm soon going to start transitioning to an elemental formula (well, I hope--haven't actually tried one yet), but I just wanted to say....
I MADE IT!!! 6 months was my goal and I'm here.
