We hit the 1 year mark!

Published by nice under Breastfeeding, Family

Kudos to us for we had a full year of successful breastfeeding!  :) We never thought that we could reach this far but we did.

The past 3 weeks had been exceptionally hard. I had a flu for 2 days and it somehow affected the let-down reflex. No matter how i pump i can only get a trickle. As a result my breast was engorged. What made matters worse is that i was too weak to hold B.boy and feed him directly. Haaaay! It was too frustrating. We feared that the milk supply would dry up.

A couple of days after i got well, i still don’t have enough supply. Before i could get at least 6 ozs per pumping session, now i get only 2 ozs. I took Natalac 3x day and decreased my pumping interval. It was only this week that the supply went back to normal.

We are happy to still continue breastfeeding past the 1 year. As for weaning, i don’t think it will come any time soon. Mommy, Daddy and B.boy are not yet ready to give up at this point.  :)
