Breastfeeding

I've been thinking about this fast approaching end to breastfeeding. Fast approaching because my intention to nurse Mr. Meh until he turn one. Which is in less than 3 months.

I've been really sad thinking about it. It's like a part of my life, my connection with him, my private time with him will be over.

I've also been contemplating when to stop pumping at work. Should I give it up now (since my milk supply really dwindles down by the end of the week), wait until the end of the year, or wait until he turns one.

I think I'll try to go until the end of the year (especially since I'll be home the week after Thanskgiving so that should help things)

But I have to say, now that I've gotten used to giving him formula, I see the advantage of it -- it's very easy. At least now it is. BUt I don't think that formula feeding a newborn would've been easy -- it is still much easier to whip out a boob in the middle of the night for a quick nursing than it would be to prepare a bottle, especially when the baby is crying.
