My load is about 15 pounds lighter today. I am drying up my milk and don't need to carry the chunky breast pump around anymore. I nursed Bella for 2 months and Tori for nearly 4 months and I am very satisfied with that. If I stayed home I may have made it even longer because it saves money and can be very convenient at times.
I am making the decision selfishly for me. The hormones are killing me, I'm not losing enough weight and when I drink milk or caffeine the baby has a reaction. She sleeps so well at night that my milk was drying up from not pumping, work can be crazy and not conducive to pump breaks plus my neck is all kinds of messed up from the nursing and pumping position that the pain is constant. I will miss the closeness and bonding it brings, but I know there are more ways to bond with my gorgeous baby. I hope she knows how much I enjoyed our time and loved every minute of it once the initial shock and pain subsided. My tiny nursing baby will always exist in my memories.
