Actually as of a few days ago, but it completely slipped my mind until DH mentioned it last night.

My original breastfeeding mini-goals were:

4 weeks
6 weeks
3 months
6 months
9 months

And my long-term goal was 1 year, which I hit several days ago! I'm not going to wean him yet (although I wouldn't mind if he cut out the drive-by nursing thing)...I've met my goal and anything now is just lagniappe.

I've been so grateful that we had such an easy time breast-feeding, especially after we had such a hard time conceiving and had a semi-difficult pregnancy and delivery.

He latched on properly right away (the CLC at the hospital just sat with us for a while and gave pointers about how to interest him in eating if he was too sleepy--my boob-monster never had that problem). My milk came in within 36 hours, and I never really had any pain...I only used my lanolin once.

When we started he wanted to cluster nurse...all the time. I never got a break, and I never thought we could make it this far. I know how easy it could have been to have difficulties, and I'm so incredibly thankful I was able to give this to him so easily.

Horray!
