I can breathe a little easier, It's kinda silly to me. I've finally reached my ultimate nursing goal ; 12 months. I know why it was important to me, but did I have to put such pressure on myself.? I was always anxious around my newborn, always feeling like he was hungry. Now it's so easy, like breathing. He eats so much other good stuff, I barely worry about him nursing. If we do it's awesome, but it's not like before. I'm not stressing out wether my child is starving or not. In these last 12 months I've learned so much about nursing. I may even consider myself a "lactivist". I really wish all women could experience the beauty and pride I feel to have nursed my son this far. Every thing beyond this point is a plus.
Today I gave him his sippy full of cow's milk. He loooved it. Also I might be ovulating, because I pumped today at home & at work and only was able to produce 3 measly ounces together!!. Last week this would have devastated me, but today I combined a little of my milk along with the cows and apperantly he loved it or tolerated it enough to fall asleep to. I will be ready if he soon decides to wean. I doubt it though, we'll see
