little imp is six months old today. six months old already... i can hardly believe it.
i have managed to breastfeed him for all of those first six months. i have been able to meet the advice of the world health organisation (actually, they encourage breastfeeding your child up until the age of two!) through a lot of hard work and perseverance. and i have to say i am proud of that. but most of all, i have loved it.
where i live, 75% of all new mothers breastfeed their babies right after they are born. by the time these babies are six months old, the number has dropped to 18%. i understand it. especially for working mothers, breastfeeding is an incredibly hard thing to do. still, i so hope i will be able to feed little imp in this most wonderful of ways for a long time to come.
bewonderenswaardig... xxx
