Exclusively breast fed :-)

Sitting here in the bed feeding Cody is the best feeling .im so glad we can bottle and breast feed to. I sometimes think am I lazy for not completely breast feeding but then I remind myself he is to a point .
Just because he has my milk in a bottle doesn't mean he's not . Nearly 2 months in and probably since day 3 he's been exclusively breast milk and I couldn't be happier .
I'm not so confident with the while bf in public if I'm honest so it scares me and jus we have a routine with expressing I don't think I want to break it . It's hard work and I have times where I want to Ditch the pump but I carry on .
The times are hard when I don't want to pump , be able about bit getting sore if I leave it too long but then I remember I did it for esmae and what a good feeling it gives me .
My personal reason is I feel it helped esmae stay away from dr visits and rarely gets ill . Where's as caleb suffered with his ears and was always getting colds . It also keeps my diabetes on track to a point just wish I ate better so I could loose some extra pounds .
I love the feeling after he has fed and finishes a feed with a let go then snuggles into me . So relaxed and fast asleep . 
The night and early feeds are so much easier and we get to snuggle quite close . I love waking up to see him warm and Cosey .
It's hard when someone asks if he's breast fed and I struggle and explain he's expressed milk in a bottle then realise he more or less breast fed .
The one thing is I know he's gaining weight and he's not so small . He's quite a chunk .
Weight check Wednesday and my scales read 16lb. :-)
