Like magic, I feel so much better!(weaning)

 The last 2 weeks I started weaning from pumping. I went down to 3 pumps, then to 2, and then was only pumping once a day. I have been EPing for about the last 4 months because ds refused to nurse and would bite. I pumped my last time on Friday night. I feel I thousand times less hormonal and crazy already! I weaned slowly enough that I didn't get engorged or uncomfortable and my boobs actually look pretty close to pp. I loved being able to give ds bm for a whole year, but I am so happy to be done now. I thought I would be sadder when it actually came time to stop, but I am perfectly okay with it now. I'm starting to feel closer to myself than I have in a long time!

    So glad it was easier than you expected and that you're feeling more like yourself!  And way to go on making it a year, especially with the biting issues.

    You're my role model.  I'm hoping I'm the same way.  I've dropped 2 so far - 2 more to go!

    You can do it! I think the gradual dropping of pumps really helped. I was scared to get engorged and get mastitis or something. Good luck! I hope your's goes as smoothly!

    Yay!! I thought I would be sad once we were totally done nursing too but I feel like myself again. I think for me it is finally having my body back to myself, I had been either pregnant or nursing for more than three years!

    That is great that it was easier than expected! 

     I also expected to be more upset/sad about weaning. I kept trying to wean and then would end up feeding her anyway. But now I am finally done and it feels much better than I thought it would!  I love being free from that d*mn pump (I hated pumping with a burning passion!)
