I totally know what you mean. And breastfeeding makes a big difference with the
parent-child bond, too. As I said, even though my mom started us all on solids early,
she still did breastfeed as long as she could. My family is so much closer and
respectful to each other than my husband's. I think that getting off to the right
start made a big difference, and it carries through the parenting style as the
children get older.

Just stand stronger and taller and know that what you are doing is right. All of the
hardcore facts back you up for breastfeeding. The research is there. I've run into the
whole "well I didn't breastfeed and my children are fine" story. Well are they really.
I would take a closer look at those that you know that were not breastfed and see how
there health is in general and compair them to those that you know that were breastfed
and see how smart they are or healthier if at all they are.
Breastfeeding a baby is a building block, its a foundation for the rest of life to
come for that baby as it will turn into a toddler,child, teenager, young adult, and a
full grown adult of some years under their belt. Breastfeeding helps out for the
start. After all the parenting its up to the individual to continue to take care of
themselves.
Everything in life is just a test to build character in your life for what is to
come in the future. So stand against those that stand against you weather it is in
silence without confrontation or go full tilt and be herd.

I know; it's tough with them, especially my father-in-law. They came to visit when my
baby was only one month old. My mil was amazed that I was "still breastfeeding" then,
and my fil wanted to watch! And she kept telling me to not pick Faith up when she
cried all the time or I would spoil her - when she was only 4 weeks old! I just keep
telling myself I can't let it get to me! It's a lot easier said than done, especially
how they are, but it's only 5 days that we'll be there - 5 long, grueling days, but as
they say, this too shall pass. With God's help we'll get through it!

upset by any of your mil questions, I am sure she will come around. ml

ditto that...I'm Teresa (new to the group), mommy of Faith, 9 months old yesterday.
She is our first baby. We just started her on solids about a month ago. My mom
breastfed all 6 of us kids, but also started us all on solids very early, around 2
weeks; I guess that's what they did back then. My hubbie's mom didn't breastfeed any
of her six. So no support there (in fact, I'm dreading our visit to there next week
since I'm still nursing, and they aren't very supportive of that). But I admire you,
Patty...you're doing a great job...hang in there.
