2nd Breastfeeding Milestone


I can't believe I actually made it to 6 months of breast feeding! I can't believe my baby is already 6 months old! Time has flown that's for sure. I'm actually surprised that I'm still breastfeeding where I considered myself having a really low supply so I figured that I would have dried up by now. Fortunately it is the total opposite, I think my milk supply is a lot greater compared to what it was I few months ago. I believe the reason being that Logan can go a lot longer inbetween feelings plus he has baby food now. 

Before Logan was born I kind of thought that I would start to stop breastfeeding around 6 month but at the moment I don't really see an end in the near future. I know I don't really want to go much past a year if I make it that far but I'm just going to see how it goes until then. Some days I think about stopping, especially the other day when I got bit for the first time! But I'm really not looking forward to breastfeeding coming to an end, I love bond Logan and I have from breastfeeding and thinking about stopping almost makes me want to cry. At the same time though it would be nice to be back in regular bras and no breast pads and normal clothes again. Soon enough I'm sure.

Another thing that I am pretty proud of myself for is that I pumped 4oz in one sitting, it probably doesn't seem like that big of an accomplishment for anyone who pumps regularly. It used to take me about an hour to get half an oz, so 4oz in one sitting that lasted about 15 minutes it's amazing for me. 
I've been trying to pump little bits where Logan goes longer between feedings and sometimes has formula, the other day I went a good part of the day with out breast feeding because he had formula and baby food in that time instead. I want to make sure my milk dries up when Logan and I are read for it too, not before. I have a strong feeling that if that happens I will find it hard to cope. 

Hopefully I will get in atleast one more breast feeding milestone, possibly even two more! I think I'd be pretty proud of myself if I could make it to one year! I never thought I would breast feed a baby for that long but I definitely feel that it was the right way to go for me, I would I had of gotten this special connection with Chloe as well. I also never thought I'd be comfortable breast feeding in public with and with out a cover. I was completely shocked how little I actually cared about what other people think, as well as surprised at how many people were actually being rude about it! I really hope that in the future breastfeeding can become more accepted by society. #normalizebreastfeeding #eatlocal haha  

-I love that it looks like Logan is giving a thumbs up! Haha-
