Hello all breastfeeding mommies,
Just want to share that I will finally be ending my breastfeeding career... today I should be pumping my very last session tonight! It's been 30 months!
Suffered three cases of mastitis during the first year, had over-supply problem, freezer problem - once fridge broke down and I had to rush to 'save' my BM by borrowing two neighbours' freezers space! Had too much EBM and gave away two packs every day......... those were the early days!
It was hardwork and lots and lots of perseverence - turning a death ear to all the ignorant grannies and aunties as I know that BM is the best for my baby, overcoming all the challenges like finding time to pump twice at work, clearing blocked ducts, etc etc.
The best is when baby latches on, knowing he's getting the best from mommy, bonding with him and giving him the security and love he needs as he grows!
No regrets, in fact a bit sad to end my bfdg career... supply has been dropping since I fell sick 5 months ago, a tough battle to keep it up. Raised my targets three times and I'm glad I've met it! Now, I only get like half oz after 2-3 days. I think it's time to hang up my pump now
All breastfeeding mommies, jia you jia you! It's one gift only mommies can give so keep it up for as long as you can
