Today I used up the last 5oz frozen breastmilk for Katie so I guess now I’m stopping pumping all together. The last month? 2 months? I’ve only been able to get at most 5oz and that was only in the morning and any other time I could only get at most 2oz. I’ve been pumping since 1 day after Katie came home from the hospital so I think I’ve done a great job but I know If my boobs could talk they would scream, “TIME FOR A BREAK!” because over this last month or so I’ll get random times where they’ll actually bleed and hurt a LOT. She’s almost 6 months and I was trying to do my best to last till she WAS 6 months but she’ll be 6 months in 11 days so I came close. She’s eating more than I can produce and I just feel like I’m torturing my own boobs so I know this is for the best.
I have to say I’m happy that I don’t have to pump anymore every couple hours EVERY DAY because that’s what I’ve done for the last almost 6 months. Of course I’m so happy that I did pump for her so that she could have the breastmilk but everything must come to an end and I’m doing what I feel is best for myself and my boobs. It has definetly been an interesting almost 6 months and I think I know my boobs now better than ever LOL.
Let’s just hope the drying up process won’t be too bad… :geek:
