I just discovered a random fact about myself and thought I would share.
I have been pregnant or nursing since March 2009. Currently that adds up to 28 months.
I plan to nurse our daughter for at least 12 months. Which would add up to 40 months of pregnancy/nursing/pregnancy/nursing.
I realize this is by no means the longest straight stretch of pregnancy/nursing that exists. But I did find it interesting.
I quickly "googled" to see what the longest stretch a woman breastfed one child - according to ChaCha.com, there is a document case of 7 years, 4 months. I did not further research, but my best guess is this would be a mother and child in a tribe. I have read many great breastfeeding stories about mothers in tribes - I feel those women are amazing milk producers.
