Ok, this time it's official, we are done
« on: May 01, 2006, 23:51:39 pm »
It was a wonderful 9 months, but with only 2 feeds a day and my pregnancy, my supply was the pits.  I know I could have worked to keep it up, but I didn't have it in me. 

I didn't even get engorged and only needed ds to nurse on day 2 from my left breast to help relieve me.  It has been about 5 days.  It's funny how you miss it, it's not at all in the way I anticipated or prepared for. 

I tried to wean him 2 other times and I just couldn't.  I knew it was our time though.  He's happily sucking the bottle and lets me cuddle and kiss him so I still get that.

Thank you everyone for your support in the past 9 months!!!!

I will be back looking for help when dc #2 arrives in December.  What a blessing being a nursing mom is.  I am so proud.

{{{{{{{{{{{{HUGS}}}}}}}}}}}}} jodie - i am sure there were alot of mixed emotions with that decision...i am glad it wasn't as bad as you thought and that o is giving you a happy alternative with the cuddling!

gives me hope for when i decide to wean alecks - i guess we all think and anticipate it to be harder than what it probably is...

Congratulations and hugs. Your boobs are just yours for a few short months now! Vodka and lingerie (do Victoria Secret(?) have a maternity line?? ;))

I always thought it was funny when I was over there that Victoria's Secret pretended to be British on their advertising - do they still do that?
