Over the last 4 1/2 months this machine has been glued to my breast. My last day of producing breast milk was Aug 1. My goal for breastfeeding was 5 months but during that time I had a few clogged duct and other problems with my breast so I decided to quit early. Little did I know that quitting would take a month and a half. I talked with many people and everyone had different opinions on how to quit but I finally decided on dropping one feeding every 4-5 days. This really worked best for me because I was having so many problems with clogged ducts. I really did enjoy giving Wyatt breast milk. When I first thought of quitting I was extremely sad. Unless you have had the gift of giving your child all the food they need you will not know what I am talking about. Anyhow I am so glad that I did get the chance to do this and I would definately reommend it to everyone but for now I am saying good bye to the pump that has been my best friend for almost 5 months. These pictures are a tribute to Medela( I can call it by that name since I paid a lot of money for it). Also good bye to lansinoh nipple cream which is great.

What is wrong with Mindy's blog? It won't open.
Congratulations on finally finishing! You did an amazing job lasting that long. I know Wyatt will be better for it!
I remember feeling such a sense of relief when I stopped breastfeeding Sophie. You don't have to feel like a milk-cow anymore!! It is a sad time but you know that the food and formula you'll be giving him will provide him with the nutrients he needs!! :)
