I have two boys and breastfed the first and am currently breastfeeding my second (Matthew!) I've never had a problem with supply (I had 30 oz pumped in the fridge from ONE day) but I do know how important it is to want your child breastfed.

You are there!! You have arrived and I am so proud of you. I really am.

Years ago, my wonderful pediatrician wouldn't allow it, the nurses all knew Dr Sam was very pro breastfeeding and there was no formula for his nursing babies. Long story short, my scrawny 6 lb boy thrived for 6 mths on only my milk. Today he's over 6 ft tall and healthy.
