As an infant I was breastfed for about 3 months then fed soy formula and
solids.reading how I was fed in my baby book is actually quite frightening.I
started my cycles at age 12.



My 3 boys were all exclusively BF for the first 4 - 6 months then solids
started (baby #2 got combo EBM and ABM for about 1 wk at age 2 wks while I
was rebuilding my milk supply).



Boy #1 hit puberty at age 11 (just after his 11th birthday), boy #2 at age
9.5 (at 13.5 he is built like and looks like a 16 yr old and shaving like
one too!  Good looking kid.!), and boy # 3 at age 11 and 4 months is showing
NO signs of hitting puberty any time soon.  The differences between the 3
are amazing.  The last 2 have the same father.but the drastic difference
between them never ceases to amaze me and make a great visual example for my
mommy group.  :-)



The other thing that is interesting to me is how the inappropriateness of my
feedings as an infant didn't seem to affect when I hit puberty (but I think
did affect other things) and how my boys were fed and when they hit puberty
- the differences are just so interesting.go figure.  There are so many
factors in all this.fascinating.
