Breastfeeding

It's official...my boobs are dry.

I haven't pumped or nursed since 7 am yesterday.  My supply was slowly twindling and then I got an awful cold and took some Dayquil and Nyquil and my supply really tanked after that.  For the last few weeks I've been pumping hardcore and getting maybe 4-6 oz all day long.  So last week I started cutting back, and hardly got engorged at all.

I'm surprsied how emotional I've been about it the last few days.  I'm really sad, but I've come to terms with it.  The bright side, maybe now my 34H's will shrink down a little and I can wear a normal shirt again!

Best of luck to all of you Mama's with your breastfeeding, I hope you all have more success than I did!

  • Six months is great - you should feel proud for all that you were able to do!

    Thanks!  I just wasn't ready to be done yet.  I really loved BFing.

  • I think you did great!  I am hoping to get to 6 months!!!!!!!
  • Like everyone else has said, 6 months is a great achievement.  Be proud of yourself!
  • Congrats on making it that long, you should be happy! I am already having problems and haven't even made it two months yet. I am hoping to stretch this out as long as possible, hope I can make it as long as you.
