I just did my last pumping session.

Great job!!!

I am planning to stop pumping as well when DS turns one. We did just have to start supplementing one bottle a day of formula because my output decreased so much and I burned through all of my freezer stash.

I've kept track of every ounce pumped as well, I'm interested to see how it all adds up when I'm done.

Any plans to buy some new bras as a treat?

<)  Congrats!  That's awesome that you're donating the milk, too!

[greycat]

Congrats!!! It's great that you have been able to donate so much.

[pinotgrig]

Congrats! You definetely deserve to celebrate!

[satsuma]

Yay! That's awesome.

Good work! There's really no reason you won't be able to continue - I've done it twice with zero issue. It's the best part of breastfeeding, IMO - snuggles and comfort, but you're not THE ONLY THING IN THE WORLD and no pumping.

[glitzy07]

Congrats!

I quit pumping the week before C's first birthday and we're still nursing just fine at 17 months. Hope the same is true for you!

[badtzmaru22]

Woohoo!!!! CONGRATULATIONS!!! You did such an amazing job!!

Definitely hold off on the new bras though. With DD, I quit pumping at 12mo, and then nursed at home for three more months. After that, my boobs totally deflated, and then a couple months after totally weaning, they bounced back and I bought some new bras. It might not be the same for you, but just beware, it can take a while. Also, I finally got new bras, and then right away got pregnant again, so again, be careful!

[robyn]

That's awesome! Congratulations!

[havarti]

Congratulations!!!!! And how has he grown up this fast?!?

[mpc]

Congrats! Not pumping during the day is sooo nice!

[purplecow0206]

I'll be here in about an hour or so.

I do, however, plan to bring my hand pump to the office my first week back after my vacation, just in case things get too uncomfortable.

YAY for one less thing to lug to the office!!

[MamaMaui24]

Impressive! Congrats!

[lilac05]

Congrats!

I was able to continue BFing DS1 until 18 months only nursing at night and in the AM. We stopped because of desire, not supply. It's so freeing to not have to worry about supply...EVER! I've even been able to skip nights, not pump, and continue like nothing happened. Your body is pretty incredible!

Congrats! Today was actually my last day of pumping too. I sadly did not have enough milk to donate though. I won't even have enough to make it to DD's first birthday. But oh well, I'm done. I plan to use my pumping time to workout. 30 Day Shred, here I come!

[simpsongal]

Congrats ladies!! I look forward to joining you soon too!

We started the transition to WCM (with the Pedi's permission) at 11 months, and the first week was a combo of WCM, formula and BM. She'll get some BM through the week of her birthday, which is Jan 7, but after that will get WCM at DC and BM at home. We'll see whether or not she gets WCM at home or if I just nurse her, it depends on how comfortable I am after  a few weeks on Monday!

Congrats! Now you are on to the best part of nursing! I loved nursing J beyond a year because then it was just all about snuggles etc without the pressure of being his sole food source/main source of nutrition.

[Blue Moon]

You did amazing, congrats! I kind of wish I had kept track of how many ounces I've pumped. It's really neat that you know your total!

[cricketwife]

You have done a phenomenal job! Yay!

[daisy24342]

Wow! Great job!.

M's birthday is January 9th. She'll have a couple days after Christmas break with a combo of BM and WCM. I plan to start her on the WCM this week during the day when we have family to distract her from nursing. I'll continue morning and night nursing until I get tired of it, but at least until her 1st birthday. I don't think I'm going to do formula, but I will if she won't drink the WCM.

Amazing job! Enjoy the freedom from the pump, I know I can't wait

[shelbyann]

Great job!!

We've been combo feeding since 7.5 months or so, that's why the formula. We definitely wouldn't have done it otherwise.

Good job. Well done you!!

[whitemerlot]

That's amazing! Great job!

[zarapipe]

Holy smokes!!!!# amazing job, seriously pat yourself on the back.

Congrats! Today was my last day pumping, too! DD turned a year yesterday. It's such a relief to not have to pump anymore.
