  @theresat858‌ Thanks for replying. I am still pumping about 8 oz which is enough for 2 of her 4 bottles. I think my stash will last until she's 1 or close enough to one. With the transition to WCM did you mix with BM or just give it alone?

  I'm almost 13 weeks and weaned a few days ago.  I just couldn't handle it anymore.  It wasn't exactly painful but I just couldn't tolerate it, I can't really explain it.  DS is 21 months and we introduced WCM a long time ago. It honestly never occurred to me to mix it with BM.

  I was able to continue nursing DD1 until I was about 16 weeks pregnant.  This was one week past DD1's first birthday.  My supply immediately crashed when I became pregnant.  That was the first sign I had that I was pregnant.  I eventually got used to how sensitive my nipples became and luckily I had a small freezer stash to give DD1 as I was barely able to pump anything while at work.  I also started introducing WCM at 11 months (very slowly) to avoid formula; that's how low my supply became.  Also, my ob/gyn was not very supportive about me nursing at all once I became pregnant.  (I didn't listen)
