Good for you!!!!
We made it a year!
Thanks to domperidone, herbs, reglan, herbs, oatmeal, herbs, other lactogenic foods, the SNS, lact-aid...and did I mention herbs?
We made it a year! I'd like to go to 2 years, but I'll be running out of dom in 80 days so we'll see what happens. She enjoys drinking water from a sippy cup so I may start offering whole milk in the next few months.
I just cannot believe we made it! I really felt like giving up so many times! With my older DD I DID give up when she was about 3 months and I've kinda regretted it ever since. This might sound kinda wierd, but making it a year this time has almost been healing for me and helped me get over that failed nursing relationship. I told DH that and he's like, "she's 6 years old, you weren't over that!?" No...I wasn't over that. But I'm getting there.

Yay for you, mama.. and Happy Birthday baby girl!
I know what you mean about the healing experience.. I had a very difficult time bf'ing my first child and it's something that still upsets me greatly. I can't even really think about it much or I will start to cry

I feel so blessed and thrilled to still be bf'ing my 17 month dd with no end in sight

Marcy - our babies are exactly 1 week apart. I so know what you mean about how hard and wonderful it was to make it to a year with low supply.
I don't remember if you've exclusively nursed til a year, but I know I just could not EBF no matter how hard I tried, even with dom, herbs, pumping, oatmeal, and tons of water.
I'm just grateful to for making it to the 1 year mark. I could only keep my first dd on the breast for 4 months though I continued to pump until 6 months and never exclusively. I could only make it to 7 months with my second dd. I was working with both and never made enough to put in the bottles. This time I'm a SAHM and I never would have been able to make it this long otherwise.
Congratulations on making it though. It's a great feeling isn't it???
