Breastfeeding

Aw one year... With a preemie!

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!!!!
