Last week was the end of breastfeeding for me. After my left boobie decided not to produce any more milk and LL completely uninterested in nursing, I decided to hang it up. I thought I would be more emotional about it but LL and I were both OK with it. I knew it was the right time for both of us.
This is where I sat for 7 months while I pumped....just me, my pump and the computer. I have to say I won't miss pumping.
Good bye for now. Here it is sitting on the shelf in the closet. See ya next time around!
I thought weaning would also be more painful. But, since my left boobah dried up it was only my right one to deal with. When I felt it getting full, I would pump just a little. I only had to pump one time. It's still a little larger than the left but it's not producing any milk, it has stayed the same for about 3 days. I guess I should read up on what happens.
WOw! That sounds like the best case scenario for weaning. I'm dreading it, but I still have 4 months to go.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for sharing this post. I know our weeks or even maybe days are limited and I was wondering how bad it would be when I stopped - sounds like you did very well with it!!! Congrats on your new found freedom away from the pump;)
ReplyDeleteI think we are living parallel lives right now! Peebs is nursing less so maybe we can also wean! I only nursed him once yesterday and my boobs never got uncomfortable so I think my body is getting the message he is sending.
