I'm really considering to stop pumping... I'm and EPer and I am so miserable anymore. Now that DD is eating solids she is loving them and even though I offer milk first, she isn't eating as much milk anymore. Good news is that I have at least 23 months of milk stashed up. I just don't know. DD is just so active and so smart. I guess I'm scared she will change. I know I'm probably being paranoid.. I don't know what to do!

    I EP too so I totally understand. I am so ready to quit, but I don't have any stash so she would have to go on formula immediately. I am on my phone so I can't see how old your LO is. Can you wait just until she is 910 months so you would have enough to get to a year? Can you go ahead and start dropping pumps now and probably still have enough to get to a year? Whenever I feel like quitting, I make myself keep going for at least a few more days to be sure I really want to quit and I have always decided to keep going. I would recommend doing that, but whatever you decide will be the right decision for your family. Congrats on making it this long! I started supplementing with a bottle of formula a day and haven't noticed any difference in DD. I really don't think switching to formula will impact her demeanor.

    She's almost 7 months now. I'm think I might wait one more month and drop a pumping session. Wait another month and drop another session.

    It's tough. I have had several days now where I feel like I'm just DONE pumping. But I love that my LO is getting the "good stuff", as I like to call it. I feel like I've come this far I may as well suck it up and go for a year. It's so hard though!! I really thought that when we started solids the milk consumption would go down. Not as of yet. If anything he's starting to wake up at night for an additional bottle. He used to sleep through the night.

    Anyhoo, I feel for you!
