My first was a preemie in the NICU and even though we couldn't try until she was nearly 3 weeks old...I ended up weaning her when she was about 2. Had lots of great advice and support than made me stick with it and I've always been glad that I did. Great post!

The first several weeks were difficult for me and my youngest son. I had breastfed my other 3 children and they had all slept thru the night, however Draven was eating every 1 1/2 to 2 hours. We would finisha feeding and 30 minutes later he would be ready again! But, my milk came in really good that way and I was able to breastfeed him until he was 9 months old (which was longer than I did my other children!). How true!

You're right though that it can be hard at first. The first three months of breastfeeding my son were a nightmare. I had a terrible thrush infection. There were so many moments when I wanted to give up. Now he's 15 months old and still nursing. I'm so glad that I didn't quit! Breastfeeding is amazing in so many ways.

Does your baby have dairy allergies? If not, then there really isn't any reason to avoid ice cream!! I ate it all the time when my son was little. And even if she had reactions early on, she may have grown out of them. You can test to see if she is still sensitive by having one serving of dairy and then watching her for a reaction over the next few days. If she doesn't have one, then try slowing adding dairy back into your diet. If she does have a reaction, then you will need to continue avoiding it - but it's worth a try to see if she is still sensitive or not. Congrats on giving breastfeeding a try! That is great!! For you and your baby. -- Judy Hi Jess, Thanks for your comment! Does your baby have dairy allergies? If not, then there really isn’t any reason to avoid ice cream!!

I formula fed my first and am currently nursing my 2nd. I have to say besides all the above points made... I enjoy the convenience of Breastfeeding....ESPECIALLY at 5am. I initially wasn't sure if I could handle it because I am a huge foodie and didn't think I'd be able to avoid foods even after pregnancy for another year but so far it's not really bothered me. My daughter is almost 6 months, although I am dying for some Ice cream....the sacrifice I believe is worth it. Great post! I formula fed my first and am currently nursing my 2nd.
