There were blisters, buckets full of tears, but I was determined to nurse at least 6 weeks. After 6 weeks passed things improved. She doubled her weight at 8 weeks, and nursed for 20 months before I weaned her. It was very difficult, but very rewarding. <br /><br />My second was a complete cake walk in comparison. She weaned herself around 22 months (started to go 2-3 days without nursing).<br /><br />I am happy that formula exists for those not able to nurse or that choose not too.<br /><br />All parents are trying to do the best they can for their kids, no matter if they formula or breastfeed. We needs to be more inclusively supportive to all moms, dad, and guardians.oddduckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17094464231368380135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7141927543877576284.post-33319353679503391332012-07-09T11:50:57.388-07:002012-07-09T11:50:57.388-07:00Love your post!

But in the end I had my pediatrician tell me that formula is so advanced that I should not feel guilty. There is too much pressure on moms to breastfeed now a days. My boys are healthy, smart 3 and 6 year olds and they were both formula babies!
