I love the pic of Abby just chillaxing on the couch.

It’s like she’s thinking ‘Heyyyyyy…how you doin?’

Cute

Just wanted to offer my support too. You’ve done a great job, and there (should be) no shame in wanting to stop. The pain really sucks but battle through it and it will get better. I was not recommended to take anything to dry up my milk, as it would do it naturally anyway. Just alot of cold compresses, and no touching!

No advice either, but hope it works out for you and you start feeling more comfortable and more like yourself. A happy mummy is best for baby :)

I don’t think I’m going to be much help here either, but good luck, I hope you work it out! :)

Oh that video is darling! I could sit there and play with her all day! I love when they make that sucking noise, it’s the cutest thing ever, and must admit I always ask my girlfriends, “Is she/he hungry?” LOL, most of the time the answer is no.

Oh and yes, I had to empty a little bit too. Usually they let you relieve yourself by a cup or something but I over drank that day and was told by the Dr. I was “super full”. Yeah, tell me something I didn’t know.

Sorry I’ve been MIA too. It’s been tough keeping up lately.

Wearing bras to bed is so annoying! They only seem to serve the purpose of keeping the breast pads in place.
And it’s hard trying to sleep on your side or tummy with big hard boobs :[

Thanks guys for your advice.

I am feeling pretty guilty at the moment for not wanting to give her breast milk anymore. I still want to express a full feed each time but I know that’s not going to help. At least she’ll get breast milk each day for a while yet, until my milk stops. At least I know she doesn’t mind formula.

You have done so incredibly well, what with having to express all her feeds. I really feel for you and admire you for doing it for so long.

Sorry I can’t offer much advice as my daughters self-weaned at the age of 2 (D1) and 3 (D2) years, when they were only having one little feed a day, or every other day, so my milk supply gradually diminished. Just in the early days with D3 – at 2 week’s old! Hate having to wear a bra and pads to bed!

Plunket told me to drop a feed every week but i actually did it a bit slower and dropped a feed every 2 weeks. Should keep the morning feed until last, as this is when they get the best feed of the day apparently.

I dropped the 3pm feed first. If you get too full, express just enough so you are comfortable again.
