oh dont worry i dont find it offensive :) the longest ive breastfed for is 2 months (1st baby) and funnily enough i concieved a girl shortly after stopping! i think you are right, there are women who exclusively breastfeed and get lots of boys close together, but as you say its so draining and exhausting especially at first that its got to be pink friendly.Quote:

Went very well with DD2 who was stronger but I'm more of a mind to wean as soon as the child starts eating fruits and vegetables. It's just my opinion and I admire those who go further than that but I just feel that when baby is ready to take other kind of foods, it means they have taken that first step towards feeding themselves on their own and you can and maybe should let go to help them grow strong and independant. It's sad if you liked it but it's part of growing up and I think it's not that sad for baby as long as you are still there for the other steps.
I plan to breastfeed. Keyword there is PLAN :) But we'll see how it goes.
I have heard that breastfeeding is also the pink sway, and probably makes sense why 2nd siblings are sometimes girls if mother is breastfeeding.
That's kinda why I assume our 2nd will be a girl b/c Dr suggested we try as soon as my cycle returns which he mentioned usually coincides with weaning.
Just remember even with the things that sway the most, it's only a few percentage points. All this stuff is overcomable with swaying. I got a boy and a girl while breastfeeding, and three boys without breastfeeding. So in no way a guarantee, but I do think it sways somewhat pink. :)
