Hi Well, I never even thought I would have children. I was very career oriented and coming from a split family thought marriage was for the birds..... When I did get married and eventually pregnant I was sure I would bottlefeed. I had never known anyone to breastfeed. But since I was pregnant I started getting much more into the MCH literature and all of it was so positive. Plus my Lamaze teacher was so pro-breastfeeding and my OBs too. So I said I'd try it for 6 weeks. That turned to 3 months, to 6 months, etc... It just seemed so right. Now I could not imagine mothering without nursing..... Wendy
