The end of breast feeding ...
I made it almost nine whole months of nursing Allyson. Ally all of a sudden is so uninterested in it. I can't believe I'm going to say this, but I'm a little sad to be giving it up. I really planned on nursing her for a year and I'm just 3 months short of that. I feel like I worked so hard to make breast feeding work. I went to the LC 2-3 a week. I pumped for my supply and ate oatmeal for days to increase it. I know I should be happy I've made it this long. 9 months, it's something to be proud of. It just sucks that I'm not the one choosing to end it ... she is.

I would just like to say congrats for making it 9 months! That really is an accomplishment. I remember when Connor and I ended our "relationship". We made it 10.5 months, but I really wanted to get to a year. In retrospect, I realize most people barely make it 2-3 months, so all of us mommies that make it longer should be proud. Congrats for making it so far and sorry that it had to end sooner than you hoped.
ReplyDeleteAwe.
ReplyDeleteWell, I think you both should be proud of yourselves for getting to this point. I think it's better for them to decide when to call it quits anyway.
