Former EPers come in

in Babies: 9 - 12 Months

Tonight was it.  I got 2 ozs - I'm done.  I obviously weaned myself and prepped for this - I lasted a lot longer than I thought - why am I sad?  I was lucky to provide bm for 2 for nearly 6 months and who likes pumping?  I'm a free woman, right?  It's not like I even had the "bonding" unless you consider the gazes I get from the big yellow beast...

seriously, shouldn't I be celebrating?  Why am I forlorn?

    I felt the same way. It was a very emotional decision for me and I still nearly go back to it all the time. There are so many emotions tied up in it all... hang in there!

    It is the end of the era... it is bittersweet.  I remember feeling like I was almost robbing my son when I quit.  Also your hormones are going like crazy right now!!! 

    It will pass and in a week or so you will be singing Alleluia!!!!!!!

    I only did it for 4 weeks and just stopped 3 days ago. I still get tears in my eyes. Its weird how much control it has over us. I think more than anything, i think its such a miracle that our bodies naturally can produce something so special and i just had so many mixed emotions stopping. I know she will be healthy on formula and for some reason my breastmilk was upsetting her stomach. It was very sensitive to just about anything i ate. But its just very hard to accept the fact that once your done producing milk, your done.

    I think I missed that feeling of importance. Like I could wisk DS away at any moment because I had to feed him. Now DH can do it.
