- I will not miss pumping.
- I am looking forward to wearing an underwire bra again.
- I do not feel guilty about stopping breastfeeding.
Well, I made it to 6 months. That was my goal from before I even became a mother. Today will be the last day I schlep my pump to and from work. I’ll pump tomorrow and then that’s it. Our early morning breastfeeding will continue for a little while I hope, but I’m not counting on it. I’ve got 2 bags of milk in the freezer and Miles happily takes formula. I did very well, but now, I’m done. It’s certainly with mixed feelings of guilt, pride, and relief.
Miles is so lucky to have had breast milk for 6 months! Way to go!

That is a long time especially in the states where the parental leaves are so short. Now on to a new pump free lifestyle.

You lucky duck! I <3 underwire bras! Congrats on meeting your goal! You should be very proud! 6 months is an ETERNITY when you are breastfeeding and pumping! I haven't got to the "schlep the pump" to work phase yet, but I am dreading it with every ounce of me.
