i have stopped breastfeeding. i stopped about a week ago. it's so sad really. i wanted to go on for as long as i could (even up to 2 years!). just a reminder, baby c stopped feeding from my breasts after he discovered how much easier and faster it was for him to drink from the bottle. i call it plain laziness. he used my breast for comfort suckling to go to sleep and when he was unsettled. so i expressed my milk and put it into a bottle for him for his feeds. to continue producing milk, you have to continuously breastfeed or express out. i was doing fine until december. we were out almost everyday, running errands, shopping, socialising, etc that the only time i got to pump was when we were back home. this was like twice in a day. baby c refused to co-operate and feed from my breasts when we were out. but then again, it's also really difficult to get him to feed at all because he'd be so interested in all that was happening around him (new place, new things to absorb - the curious stage). sigh...........so lo and behold............i stopped producing milk. so sad, so sad. i feel like i have to go into mourning for my breasts...............................
