Here are some links to stories on the UK announcement that the govt here is
supporting 6 months' exclsuive breastfeeding. (It is the Monday of our
national breastfeeding week).

My daughter texted me from the car on her way into town (she is 15) -- so it
must have been on the radio too. When I asked her what the news was, was it
the 6 months, she texted back "Yes its 6 months. They finally admitted u
were rite!!" -- nice to have loyalty. Last night she asked 'mum, was one of
the reasons you breastfed me for so long because you enjoyed it so much?'
(Cannot remember how this came up, it just does from time to time.) Those
of you with teenagers will know how amazing it is to have this strong bond
over breastfeeding still.
