I'm glad to hear you are planning to breastfeed regularly. Its a beautiful experience! I am so glad I was able to breastfeed my daughter. I did it for 2 years, and I know a lot of people think that is strange, but I didn't really mean to do that. I had always planned on at least 6 months, but hopefully a year. It was very good for her. She was so healthy, and we bonded so well. Neither one of us was ready to quit at one year. I kept meaning to wean her, but it just never happened until I went on medication when she was almost 2 and I had to wean her. But, by that time, she was only coming to me now and then through the day for a 'drink'.. LOL.. anyway... I'm glad that so many women are breastfeeding these days. (My daughter is 5 now....and its much more accepted now than it was back then)
