iv made the decision to stop BFing, for number of reasons-
-imminent first tooth
-she's started pulling at my top and IMO thats when it starts making me feel a bit uneasy and that shes too old for it now
-dont wanna be all engorged or hav 2 express while were in reykjavik (or get told off at work again when they send me home coz me boobs ache!)
-wanna go on the "full" pill so can control my periods (which i think gonna return soon anyway) and if im late taking it it wont matter
aaaaaaaaaanyway, OMG i didnt realise how hard it is to give it up! apart from going thru the physical discomfort, i feel kinda sad that i wont do it again![Frown :( :(](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
it was my decision to stop, and i do want to, but at the same time i miss it now. its very tempting just to do it once during the nite but doing that is only delaying the inevitable, or i could see myself ending up carrying on longer than IMO is the "right/ideal" time (tryna phrase that so i dont offend anyone who BFs older babies and toddlers coz i think its great- but its just not for me)
i havent BF since early thursday morning before we got up, maybe 5 or 6am- so thats about 63 hours now, which is the longest ever!
last nite was the hardest most tempting time (boyf was very helpful he gave her bottle and let me sleep, bless him!) as now iv come this far it seems silly to "undo all my hard work" so to speak, i'd just put myself back to where i was and hav 2 start over.
so im just waiting for milk to dry up now! how long will it take? theyre quite big and firm and a bit sore, but hav not got worse since this morning and are nowhere near as bad as they used to be. hopefully this is the worst of the physical "withdrawal" lol.
sorry to waffle on like a crazy woman lol hopefully some of u wont think im wierd and understand me i kno my boyf wouldnt if i poured my heart out to him about this! altho he tries to i dont think he can see why im feeling kinda folorn about this.
so, im very proud of myself for reaching the 8-months mark, but iv closed that chapter now *sigh*
