Welcome! Wow. Seems that you have been through a LOT. Good for you for fighting

for the health of your family. What you are doing for your baby is nothing short

to constantly pump. Here is an amazing woman, that has gone through

that same struggle. I love her blog. This is the post that talks about her

daughter breast feeding after 6 months of refusing. Inspirational!
