15months 11days.......and still using whats in our deep freezer!

I am so happy to share that I have been a breastfeeding mama for 15months and 11 days! I am so happy that I made it that long, and would have gone longer but my high risk OB advised that it would be best if I were to stop since my pregnancy runs high risk already. So I have a very healthy baby boy that now is drinking my breastmilk leftovers in the freezer, mixed with either almond or rice milk. We had serious issues with him drinking organic whole milk, he just would NOT drink it. We tried everything else, including goat's milk and he drank it all except the whole milk. Our pediatrician said that it was probably harder for him to digest,and most breastfed babies dont like whole milk. We noticed his stools were loose after drinking whole milk, so we were fine with it. another reason I was happy to breastfeed so long was that it was WAYYYYY cheaper on our bank acct to breastfeed rather than formula feed!!! Dreycin is a very good eater, he eats all veggies but sometimes wont eat brocoli. He loves blueberriesfrozen or from frig, grapes, tangerines, bananas, pears, apples only if cooked with oatmeal, and to give him breaks from meats we give him boca ckn patties, or morningstar items. He has finally started eating cheese, mostly on a grilled sandwich. He wont eat it cold. But the boy eats everything, sometimes I wonder if he is overeating but Derek is like, He's a growing boy! I guess......
