My breastfeeding journey – The end

08 Apr

Posted by kazyiau bloggeraz

Today is the day I finally stop breastfeeding.

The feeling isn’t easy, although I have thought of quiting much earlier in Feb, but I’m still dragging on since to Kaith has not wean off her mid night feed.

But I have decided to put a full stop today and I took the Bromocriptine pill given by doctor to stop my breast milk production. I need to take 2 pills each day for 5 days and the milk would then slowly stopped, well it’s the same as how I stop breastfeeding Dillon last time.

I only managed to breastfeed Dillon for 8 months and now Kaith for 9 months, it’s not very long but I’m proud that I’ve at least keep it up for more than half a year. My breastfeeding journey has been pleasant and I’ve enjoyed it very much, I’ll never forget the precious intimate moment I had with my 2 lil’ ones….

9 months is really good.. I remember my pre-natal class instructor raised her eye-brows when I told her I would like to try to bf for 6 months… congrats

Thanks sting, kk & ws.

I know this is not something really big in the world but in my own little world, it’s one of my greatest achievement already

Bravo to all other breastfeeding mums out there

Wow!! 9 mths!! I gave my son only for 3 weeks and none for my girl. (Had complication with breastfeeding) I really envied people who can breastfeed for a long time. Good Job!!

Hi karen! Thanks for dropping by my blog!

I think the fact that you’ve breastfed for 9 months is amazing. I unfortunately didn’t have that experience for very long (didn’t have much milk).

i stop mine officially on 6/4…while Eli is 9 months old.

i stop is because i was terrible sick on last Sunday, i forced to have the drips that doctor said i can’t bf anymore…actually, i still miss Eli latching on me..that’s wonderful feeling!

Thanks to all for your kind words, I do feel uneasy when I stopped, maybe not used to the change. Hopefully Kaith will adapt to the change soon.
