I have now been nursing for

post #1 of 5
Thread Starter 
TWO YEARS straight. my longest yet!

My 2nd youngest (DD2) just turned 2 today and i have nursed her since she was 5 mins old. At that time she latched on and stayed there for an hour, then proceeded to nurse every 20 mins for the first 3 days of her life.

She nursed throught colds, coughs, viruses, bumps, bruises, slips, trips and falis, tantrums and teething, it even helped her after she broke her arm at 18 months old.
Now she is sharing with her baby sister, 1 month old DD3.
She nursed my entrie pregnancy with DD3
She likes to nurse at the same time as baby, earlier today i had them both on the go and laid my head back a sec while i relaxed and when i looked down again i saw DD2 was holding DD3's hand while they both lay there nursing. it was so cute

right, enought reminising, i have a birthday cake to bake, if DD3 will let me get off there chair long enought!! lol

WooHoo!

I used to enjoy thinking about how long I'd been nursing and/or pregnant. I know it doesn't seem much to someone with 7 or 8 (or 19!) kids but I've been pregnant and/or nursing from Nov 1999 until now (still nursing two year old twins) with a 6 month break after a miscarriage 3 years ago. That's what- 112 months???? And I only have 4 kids!

Our bodies really are amazing! Happy Birthday!!
