10 months I knew that I'd breastfeed before my son was born. I'm cheap. And, honestly, that was my biggest motivator. I saw my friends scrambling for coupons, hoping to qualify for WIC, and worrying aout using the last bit of powder, all in an attempt to save money. I wanted an easier experience around feeding my baby.
So, there you go. I started breastfeeding in the hospital. My son got a bottle of formula in the middle of the night on nights 3 and 4, before my milk came in. Since then, he's refused any formula I've tried. BUt, to be honest, I've only tried like 3 times. We are still breastfeeding.
People (including my pediatrician) look at me like I have 3 heads when they hear I'm still breastfeeding at 10 months. But, to me, honestly, it was just a no-brainer decision. I'd read that babies needed breastmilk or formula for a year. He isn't a year old yet, so I haven't even considered weaning.

Do moms know best? We believe they do, but the government may not..
Your freedom to choose between breast and bottle-feeding could be in jeopardy.
