Well it’s a sad day for me today. I’ve officially stopped breastfeeding. I thought I was ok about it all, but I’m not. It’s come too soon for me. Nina has just been refusing the breast completely lately. And although I would have loved to express full-time, it was draining me so much to the point of it affecting my relationship with Heath. I was hoping to continue b/f, even part-time until 12 months, but it was just too hard to do, and Nina being ‘little miss independent’ wanted her sippy cup. The sadest part is that I had no problems whatsoever with b/f. I never got mastitis, I never leaked, yet I had such a good supply. Even through the weaning process, it’s like my body new what was happening and I never had an oversupply, it just dried up. I’m very happy that nina has taken so well to the formula. She’s such a happy baby lately, which makes it a bit easier to deal with. Thanks to those who offered their support through this with me. It’s been really hard for me to do. To those still b/f, keep it up as long as you can! Cause when it’s gone, it’s gone!
