An Ending...

P turns 7 months in 3 days.  And today marks my last attempt at breastfeeding.  This last week he has refused more often than not, or merely snacked.  My supply tanked.

I am done.  5 months of struggling and fighting my body and machines.  I can't do it anymore.  And apparently he doesn't want to anymore.  We put up a good fight.

I hate this.

  2. Please don't beat yourself up about this. You did great and now it's time to move on to something else.

  3. I'm sorry. But ... seven months is a good long time, and he'll be getting more and more of his nutrition from, you know, food. And don't worry, mama, he still needs you and will still need your cuddling for many years to come.

Whip me, beat me, take away my charge card. Or just leave a comment. Whichever works best for you :)
