We stopped nursing a month ago, Lillian was over 3. I don't know it would be the last time at the time, it was probably a good thing or I would have cried all the way through.<BR/><BR/>You have done a great job and I am very impressed by your dedication to keep pumping. But I also agree with Greta, it sounds like a nursing strike based on her age. Pumping will keep your supply up, she may latch on again after the strike is over if you do want to keep nursing.But no matter what, remember that you have done a wonderful thing by nursing her for 7 months.Lilypad Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04705662543780844128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7187297027398824752.post-77724228364199761682009-01-07T01:08:00.000-05:002009-01-07T01:08:00.000-05:00Oh bless your heart..that must have been so hard. ...Oh bless your heart..that must have been so hard. I struggle all the time with the 'obstacles' of my kids getting older. I am happy for them don't get me wrong and can't wait to see the adults they become, but I miss those little moments so much..They grow up so fast.

One of my friends in VT had a self-weaning 7 month old too and she expressed feeling the same way that you do. They ended up deciding to use formula rather than pump the breast milk b/c Jen felt it was too time consuming on her part. <BR/><BR/>You're not alone on this! :-)<BR/><BR/>PS: I'm looking forward to nursing being over with.

At least you were able to do it for 7 months, your mom and sis were unable to.<BR/><BR/>I had to pump for the first six weeks, I could not bring Ry to the breast since he would suck my nipple right off. I am so proud of you for being able to do it, you are very strong willed so I truley believe you will do this as long as you think you need to. I am not as strong as you, I gave up, which I am at peace with, but still disappointing.<BR/><BR/>Keep up the good work! See ya Thursday!R.A.M. head on!https://www.blogger.com/profile/02801174114333603862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7187297027398824752.post-62557030086468251922009-01-05T15:54:00.000-05:002009-01-05T15:54:00.000-05:00Have you thought about it being a nursing strike? ...Have you thought about it being a nursing strike? I'm sure you probably have - just wanted to throw that out there.<BR/><BR/>I totally understand wanting to know the last time you were going to nurse though. I had that exact same feeling :( and it is sad, but you're right, it does get better.Gretahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06094669963750035224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7187297027398824752.post-28454970907959620702009-01-05T14:31:00.000-05:002009-01-05T14:31:00.000-05:00I'm sorry, Corie.

So, don't feel bad, be proud of yourself that you did it and that basically you still are, since she's still getting your milk.<BR/><BR/>Have a good day.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15364461923987515007noreply@blogger.com
