AW: 6 months EBF

[froggy76]

DD is 6 months old today and I'm so proud to have made it this far! Now, on to solids!

Also, if anyone has any tips for staying motivated, I'd love to hear them. I love nursing, but I am just so sick of pumping at work and stressing over every ounce.

You made it through the hard part!

I found that after 6 months, my supply just stayed great. I don't stress anymore. I dropped a session around 8 months or so. I could probably drop another now (LO is 10 months) but my job is really flexible and I'm thinking I might keep pumping to donate.

Congratulations to you for going 6 months!

Great job mama!!!

I wish I had some tips for you. (you're 2 months ahead of me, DS is only 4mo.)

I never pumped but am almost at the year mark.

The only motivation for me was that time line. You've made it so far that quitting now seems silly.. But like I said, I never pumped :/

Congratulations!

Awesome job!

I hear you on the pumping thing. DD is 1 tomorrow, and at the end of this school year the pump is going away. We will still bf if she wants and my supply holds up, but I am sick to death of the pump! My big motivation was to get to 1 year EBF or as close as I could. It was really important to me and DH and he has been awesome through all our struggles.
