I am struggling with what to do about breastfeeding at this point. I think most of the people who read this blog (all three of you, lol) see when I post things on a message board I frequent, but just in case anyone else wanders by, I wanted to cross-post some thoughts...
I've been cutting down the number of times I pump, and am down to pumping once a day now (in the afternoon at work). The babies nurse in the morning and evening. Really, only Little Man nurses; Peanut has not wanted to nurse for a couple of days now :(.
I'm thinking about dropping that last pumping session. I am making so little milk that it takes me three days of pumping to make 2 four-ounce bottles. By the time I've collected enough to make their bottles, the early output of the batch is going bad (I have lipaise issues, but don't scald the milk).
I don't know why, but I am having a hard time thinking about being done pumping. I guess because I know it means the milk will go away completely soon, and that makes me sad. I have fought so very, very hard for so long to give the babies what milk I could, it seems strange to knowingly give up the last little bit.
*Sigh.*
