Breastfeeding goals

I made goals for myself for breastfeeding from the beginning. My ultimate goal is to breast feed(bf) Jagger for a year, but I knew I needed short term goals so that I would not be disappointed if I was not able to bf him for that long. My first goal was 6 weeks, which was yesterday!! My next goal is 12 weeks and then 6 months. 6 months is what the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that you at least bf for this long, but a year is ideal. It has gotten so much easier this past week that I am confident that I can bf him for a year, as long as he still wants to and there are no changes in my supply.
