Marking this date on the calendar...I sent my last bag of breast milk to daycare today. I made it a week shy of nursing/pumping for 9 months. Going in with the expectation that I would just do it as long as my body allowed, I'm pleasantly surprised I made it this far. And while I think I could try to stretch it out closer to the one-year mark by pumping more frequently (I've been getting a little lazy over time), my body's milk supply was slowly diminishing. And I think I'm just ready to be done. I didn't pump real early on maternity leave to stock pile a good supply, so I had been pumping/replenishing daily for the past couple months.
I'm thankful nursing worked for Ashlynn and me. While I'll miss the ease of quickly nursing (especially in the middle of the night), I won't miss the pumping sessions at work and cleaning the pump parts. Ahhh bittersweet.
Sayonara milk...it's been a good run!
