No more milk
The day has come. Izzy has decided that he no longer wants my milk. He has only been breastfeeding in the morning and before bed since he turned a year old. We decided to give him till 18 mo. to eliminate the morning and evening feedings (on his own schedule). This week at night he would ask for milk and then reject it by pushing me away with a disgusted face. We are now at three full days without breastmilk. So, I think it is safe to say that he has completely weaned himself. I had to pump this morning because I was in soo much pain from engorgement. However, I am concerned that if I have to keep pumping to relieve the pain that I will keep the milk supply from stopping. Does anyone have any advice?
Although I will miss the special times we had breastfeeding, I'm glad to have my body back. You don't realize how many things you have to worry about consuming while breastfeeding. I'm free!
We need to work on Izzy letting Gonzo rock him to sleep. Unfortunately he is still very attached to me being the one to put him to sleep.
