So here is my last update.  I made it to 2 months as dd is 2 months today and the last bit of breast milk she had was for breakfast this morning.  I am not longer producing anything so I have stopped pumping and will be going to formula full time.  I did the best I could and hopefully that will be enough to give her a  good start.  Thank you for your support and advice and just being here for me when I need you guys.  I will say that I cannot wait to clean and pack away that stupid breast pump as I have a love hate relationship with it.  I love it b/c it allowed me to give both my girls at least some breast milk but I hate it for the fact that everytime I sat at it I felt more and more inadequate.

A wonderful achievement to have kept going for 2 months. You are a star mummy and your girls are lucky to have someone so committed.  :-*

Oh honey, you are doing everything you can for your girls and if pumping is just that little bit that is too much, then please don't beat yourself up about it. Celebrate as you pack it away and allow yourself to relax for a bit - you deserve it  :-*

A big well done and a round of applause for continuing through adversity! You've given your LO such a good start and I have nothing but respect for you carrying on pumping for so long.

I know it's been a hard road and a tough choice in the end, but be gentle with yourself.  If you find yourself feeling a bit blue, it's totally normal when BF ceases, so grab a nice bar of chocolate (or something!) and give yourself a bit pat on the back. :-*

You've done so well.  I would've chucked it in ages ago.  Seriously, be proud of yourself and give yourself a treat - from all of us, cos we'd like to if we were there IRL.

I think 2 months of pumping is absolutely amazing!  I think a very big treat is in order for such a dedicated, loving mommy!
