Not Done Yet?


So, I have nursed Griff off and on since I have "stopped" breastfeeding. Most of the time he doesn't want it. Although sometimes he pulls my shirt down and tries to get them out and he freaks out when he sees them while I am getting dressed, etc. Haha, typical boy....Anyway, I have been considering relactating and nursing him again. I have read a lot about bringing my milk supply back and it is possible! I am still making milk so I know it is do able. I have lumps in my breast and when I push on them, tons of milk comes out! Sooooo...I think I am going to give relactating a shot. I have been sad about not nursing anymore because that was my time with Griff so this will be good for me...and him!

Update: Well I tried and tried and Griff just doesn't want to nurse!! He wants it like once every few days....so I am not going to work my butt off to relactate. Maybe my next baby will nurse longer :)

You are crazy, I am all about formula. Breast feeding is such a pain. I will give you props.

I also give you props. it's not easy, but I think if you're still up for it why not try. I nursed both boys for a full year, that seemed good to me. You know what best for him(& you). The important thing is to do what feels right! You're such a sweet mommy!
I LOVE the new cut, SEXXY!
