This time last year, I was prego, anxious and virtually (I said VIRTUALLY, Anne!) friendless as a new Phoenix resident. I spent much of my five months of unemployed pregnancy trolling the InterWebs for breastfeeding support and advice. I was lucky to find Breastfeeding Arizona's Babies & Beyond, a blog by Leslie Ott, Certified Lactation Educator here in the AZ. Recently, I met Leslie as part of her documentary project, Formula Fed America. Thanks to the crack staff at Scottsdale Healthcare Shea, Soren and I had a rough time of it with nursing in the beginning. He had his share of formula for the first four months of his life. I don't consider this to be a bad thing, necessarily. But I was disappointed that I wasn't able to do what I wanted to do, which was exclusively nurse him for six months. Now he's eight months old and he's still nursing for most of his meals in addition to two meals a day of solid foods. He hasn't had a formula in months, but as I told Leslie, I was thankful for it in the beginning because my hospital experience scared me into thinking I couldn't feed my baby without it. I hope a lot of people watch Leslie's documentary. Keep an eye on its progress at FormulaFedAmerica.Com.
