So I made it through my six month goal of breastfeeding/pumping. Would it be horrible if I said that part of me wants to stop?
I guess it's safe to say that part of me feels selfish for wanting to stop. It's gotten more difficult the past two months because of work. Of course, that's not the whole reason. As I've mentioned before, Travis gets a bottle of formula here and there and to be honest it seems like that he favors the formula more these days.
So, would it be bad if I stop?
Girl, I'm proud of you for doing it this long! If everything worked out for me, I would still be breastfeeding. But at least you made it to the big 6 months!! Some people choose to only breastfeed for the first 6 months. Jordan didn't do well with breastfeeding (it may be because he was bottle fed right from the start because I was held in the PACU for a few hours). Plus, he loves the bottle and does very well with similac advance. But try to do it as long as you can mama. I support your decision either way. As long as your baby is getting the nutrition he needs to grow, you're doing a great job :).
