Feeling Good About Weaning

To say I had a difficult time breastfeeding Aud is an huge understatement. For her first six weeks we struggled to get a good latch, I didn't have much milk, it was physically really painful, she got the infamous stomach virus (that we later learned was probably thrush), then my mom died, and well... I just didn't have it in me to fight through it all.

With H though, things were a lot easier. I knew what I was doing more, he latched well, he put up with my low volume, and no thrush meant no crazy pain.

It still wasn't easy though. And I knew I wouldn't be able to do it for very long. So I gave myself a goal: just get to 12 weeks.

Well this week the big guy is 12 weeks. He got his last feeding yesterday and I'm celebrating the accomplishment. Check it out:
