I found out on Friday that Time magazines cover story this week is about Dr Sears and his attachment parenting philosophy. I'm dying to leave work and get my hands on a copy of the magazine. I was able to read a few paragraphs of one of the articles and was shocked to read these stats- 75% of mothers start breastfeeding. At 6 months, 44% still are breastfeeding and only 15% are exclusively breastfeeding. We're in that 15% and I'm not sure if I should feel honored or horrified. I'm glad that 44% still are giving some breast milk so all things considered, I think that it probably is a good thing that we've made it this far. I will post more thoughts about this article once I get the chance to actually read the entire article.
