Welcome Nicolas!

Yup! Trying to build up a freezer stash in the next few weeks. I nursed all my babies at least a year, some a little longer. So the thought of swapping to formula and bottle feeding is outside of my skillset! But, in the long run he needs his mommy cancer free more than he needs to be exclusively breastfed. We'll figure it out!
