So instead I got creative and figured out some awesome hacks to make…
Before my first daughter was even born, I decided that my goal would be to nurse her at least until she was two and then go from there. I am the type of person that needs to make nothing else an option and be completely goal oriented. So even 729 days would not have been enough because 730…
