Since Savi has turned one, I am officially free of breastfeeding!!! I had a personal goal to do it for a whole year and succeeded! It was hard at times. I have literally cried over spilled milk! There is nothing worse when I am transferring all my milk to bottles and stuff and one spills over and I loose even just an ounce! As my mother-in-law refers to it....milk is like gold! Not necessarily abundant and very precious:) There were times where I just didn't get enough pumped during the day while I was at work and had to wake myself up at 2am to pump one more time so Savi would have enough during the day. Other times I had plenty and more to provide for her. It was a crazy roller coaster but it was so good for her and me. We have weened her off of breast milk to whole milk and she has done great! I hurt a little but not to bad. Either way I am proud to say that I am free at last from pumping and all things breastfeeding for now;)

Good for you making it to the one year mark ... that is huge!!!
Brittany- Congratulations! That is SO awesome!!! I breastfed my Connor-boo for one year and it is a BIG accomplishment, esp. when you work. I was teaching school and that pump was my "sidekick!" ha! Anyway- to say you breastfed for a whole year while working full-time is amazing!!! You should feel GREAT!!! Now, enjoy your freedom!!!
OH- and I meant to tell you....I have totally "cried over spilt milk" too. Pouring it into freezer bags can be tricky!!! :)
1 year is very impressive! you should be proud!
Wow that's a huge accomlishment girl! I wussed out & quit after a wk, but I do wish I could've continued a lot longer! I definitely respect those who can keep up with it!
Sorry I've gotten behind on blogging & just caught up on yours! Happy belated bday Savannah! Hope it was a great one!
Good for you! Making it to a year is a HUGE accomplishment!!!!
Congrats! Way to stick to your goal! What a wonderful accomplishment!
Congratulations! I've heard it's difficult to do for a long period of time, but I bet it helped with loosing the baby weight.
Congrats!!! That is a great accomplishment. Both my children kind of self-weaned around 10 months and I was so bummed because I wanted to hit that 12 month mark too. But I wasn't too bummed because it's so nice being done with it too! ;-)
That is great!
Brittany~ congratulations!! i'm hoping to be able to breastfeed Bryson for a year. it seems so overwhelming especially since i'm about to head back to work. but i'm glad to know that someone else was able to achieve such a great accomplishment :)this gives me alot of motivation!!
