As much as I do appreciate the supportive atmosphere from the moms on this board, I would just like to say that
MY MOM IS AWESOME!!
She has been 100% behind me with EBF, despite having bottle-fed my older sister (no help or info available) and bfing me and my younger sister for "about a year" (I suspect perhaps less than that, and with some supplementation). She is one cool 60 yr old (and yes, I have told her that).
Incidentally, she's also right on board with co-sleeping, gd, cd and my abandoning my career to be at home with her 2-yr-old grandson, the light of my life.
I read a lot of postings here about unsupportive families, so I just wanted to share one that was positive.
Anyone else have a great parent, in-law or other "mentor" who's behind you all the way?
