Extended BFing can be pretty challenging, but I know you can keep doing it because of your desire to give the BEST for Y. :-) God bless dear, and I hope that the people around you (well, esp. your Lola) will learn to be more supportive eventually! But even if they don't I know you'll keep doing what you believe is best for Y!

I guess I can take all comments astride pero I feel slighted pag sinabi nilang kulang ang nutrients ng BM. Twice it was said to me -- one was almost a decade back yet when I was still single, by my then-medical student friend (yeah, it struck me so much, kaya I still remember it.. and he's a med student at that!), and the second one was by an aunt-in-law just three weeks back.<br /><br />I feel so sad for you that BFing is a constant argument outside your home. :( But for as long as your home is harmonious with your BFing, then you have all the support that you need. :) My own mother din, she's not really very supportive of my BFing career. But it did not come to a point that she urged me to stop. Pinapag-supplement lang ng formula dahil baka daw hindi nabubusog sa kin. Syemps, hindi ako nakikinig. Pasok sa isang tenga, labas sa kabila.

That's crazy! They do need to re-educate themselves (because I suppose during their days, everyone thought or was told differently...). I'm glad you're finding the strength to keep going though!
