I went through a terrible time when my baby was born. I steadfastly refused to stop nursing, and not taking any medications.

I wound up having to stop breastfeeding when I had a breakdown and was hospitalized when he was 4 months old.

If I had it to do over, I'd have stopped breastfeeding at 6 weeks and used a bottle. It was a terrible time, to be in a hospital while my baby was being cared for by my mother.

I apparently was very manic and I worried excessively over the health of my newborn. I waited a long time to have him and loved him so.....he is a healthy 20 year old now and away at college!
