My baby is moving to fast towards toddlerhood. Today, he walked from me to Dh, from me to the couch, and back again, about 10 steps, over and over again. That part is exciting. The sad part is when I went to nurse him to sleep, he got really frustrated and kept pulling off. I had to grab a bottle. I can completely tell my supply is diminishing, ( I used to pump 16oz a day, and now I'm lucky to get 12 in four pumps) and I'm not going to do anything to try and build it back. I know my out put is a lot relatively, but that comes from A LOT of time on the pump. He went all day with only 8 ounces of BM, (normally takes twice that) and H said he didn't ask for more. H was also able to get him down for naps without a bottle. While I'm excited for the new things to come, and just about ready to wean, it's all just happening really fast.
Sigh. I think this is going to be my last week of pumping. Then, my tiny human will be on WCM. It's just getting to be too hard at work. There is no real point to this post, I just know a lot of you can commiserate with me.
I commiserate. It's so hard when the BFing/pumping time comes to an end. After a year of nursing them every day! Wah, I got so emotional about it. It's ok to be upset about it ((hugs)) Just think though, all that free time you'll have instead of pumping!!
And yeah, tell DS to send some walking vibes over to mine That is awesome though, I'm happy for you and VERY envious!
I totally understand. I was hoping to pump a little for at least another few months and have G get a sippy of BM instead of WCM at daycare for a while but she's been refusing. I ask if she wants to nurse and she signs back "eat" as in solids, not "milk" to BF. I'm not ready for all these changes happening so fast either!
