Thanks! Now I feel better, too

ds started playing with solids between 7 and 8 months. he weaned between 13 and 14 months. it was a gradual shift. i'm not sure when i'd say we crossed the 50/50 mark. i didn't think of him as ebf once we'd started solids, though, no...

Great story! I'm glad you had the midwives there! Not too long, honest (birth stories never seem long to me), but I know what you mean about writing it for yourself, really. And I hope it might be helpful for my daughter if she ever...
