I think I'm almost finished BFing. Not by choice, but DD was losing weight and is now on a hypoallergenic formula. If it works, pretty sure we're just going to keep her on it. I have mixed feelings about it. It will be sad, but nice to have my body back, lol. Ultimately, I just want her to gain weight and be healthy.
It sucks that its not by choice. I hope that the new formula does the trick. Don't be hard on yourself, in the end what ever works for her (and you) is the best!
I completely understand about getting your body back, I can't wait to get my body back. I love the nursing part but I hate how much I leak. I also hate waking up feeling engorged. I smell like milk all day long because I leak all the time.
I'm sorry to hear you have to stop. I'm kind of in the same boat. My supply is dropping and I'm worried I'll have to stop before I'm ready to. I get really upset about this but then I think, no more pumping, no more be discreet when feeding, more freezer space, DH can feed LO and give me a break, etc. You need to do what is best for LO. Hang in there!

Me too. Drives me CRAZY! I guess it is my new perfume for awhile.
I hope the new formula works out well!

Yeah, I'm obviously drying up because I don't have these issues, lol.
