Before her daughter was a year old my daughter was able to quit work and so no more bottles of breast milk or pumping and she just breast fed.
I wish I could roll the clock back and try again at the baby raising thing, because I'd try and do a few things differently, like breastfeed more. I was just so busy, so for me the bottle was my crutch, a chance for me to be lazy.
