I've written up and not posted stuff about breastfeeding too, so yay for you posting it! Maybe I should put my experience out there too, because as you say, it's all different, and it's good to get this stuff public. A way to start normalising the business instead of it being all giggles and blushes, lol. It's cool you and Elsa have had a good time of it (apart from the beginning!). Me and Sephy are managing well too, but coming to the end of it soon I think. We're down to 3 breastfeeds a day now with three meals of solids and snacks (she's 11 months now). For me it was a struggle at times because I've only got one working boob :p That presents all kinds of challenges, least of all the very annoying "yay one of my boobs is now literally twice as big as the other" issue. Still I'm glad we've made it this far and will probably still keep going at least a little over the one year mark, even with just one boob. So many people don't make it past 3 months, so I'm kinda proud!
