Breastfeeding- and I take the Bronze

I made it to 6 months and have kept on going, and so, I shamelessly award myself the Bronze. Those first 10 weeks were hell. Complete and utter HELL. But I overcame it and up until a week ago, Julian was Exclusively Breast Fed. It's still his main source of caloric intake, but we've started introducing solids via a mix of purees (of our table foods) and Baby Led Weaning. This is the short version of this story. The, it shouldn't freak anyone out version. The following is pretty descriptive and at times graphic, it's not for the squeamish or for those who have an illusion that breast are for fun only. Breast are meant to nourish, I'm hoping that my struggles will help power someone else through those hard times.

The long story. Ah yes.....
