Breastfeeding

This is it. We've come to the end of our breastfeeding journey, a couple of days short of my second birthday. Some of the significant milestones in our two year journey ...

August 2007: On frozen EBM for close to two weeks while mama was away in US
September 2007: Moved on to semi-solids, albeit with poor feeding habits
March 2008: NAN (HA) used to supplement 50% of milk feeds while mama was away in Cairo. Went back to normal latching and full EBM after the trip
June 2008: Took to solids a lot better than semi-solids
