I always wanted to bf but that became so much more important when I had a preemie. I was extremely fortunate with my supply /oversupply and that ds loves to eat. We had a slow start because he was so small and couldn't nurse for a while but now it is amazing. I've stopped pumping ... Which is weird, I always feel like I'm forgetting something... And the plan is to continue nursing at night and in the morning for a while. I want to leave it up to ds as to when we stop.
I've seen bm perform a miracle in the past year allowing my son to gain weight quickly and grow beyond the doctors' expectations. It kept him healthy and when I look at him now I think "I did that! I made the milk that let him grow and get chubby thighs and an extra chin.. Or two at times. " Pumping wasn't always fun or convenient but I'd do it again in a second and will with future children if I'm blessed with them.
So thank you all for your help this past year and yay!!! One year!!!!
Our little hippo was as impatient as mom!
Hoping for a full 40 weeks!!
