Engorged boobs and pervert DH

When do the BF moms plan to wean?

I am doing a 10K race in July, and between all the getting up early, traveling to/from the race, etc., it might be several hours between feeding DS. I was telling DH that maybe I should wean before then because it would be no fun to run with engorged boobs. He signaled toward his crotch and said, "Tell me about it, I have to run with this thing, and it's engorged all the time." Riiight, like that's the same. He was joking of course, but really, DH?

Anyway, DS was born 11/30, so if I make it to 7/4, that will be about 7 months. I had originally wanted to make it to 9 to 12 months with BFing, so maybe I'll just deal with the engorgement.

I know some of y'all are thinking, "Come on, it's just a 10K, not a big deal!" But I haven't run in a while, so it's a big deal to me, and maybe thinking about the logistics right now is my way of procrastinating training for the actual race! Ha!

    I don't think you should wean before then just for the purpose of a 10K.

    Your engorgement shouldn't be that bad now or by then assuming you don't have an oversupply. Everything is supposed to regulate and simmer down as far as engorgement goes.

    I am also a runner. I will be doing six 5Ks and a 5 miler March through July, and a 200 mile relay race in September. My first thought was the same, I should wean before September since that race takes two days. I also talked to DH about it and he was re

    Thank you, Rachael! I do think that making it to my BF goal is more important than the race. I was pregnant with him last year, so I walked some of it then. I've had supply issues this whole time, so I hadn't thought about hand expressing because I nev
