After much thought, I have decided to end my attempt at relactation. Other than soreness, I never developed any more signs of progress and the time it consumed was taking away from my family and my home. Luckily, I feel that I did grow and heal with this journey and have learned a lot. I have no more guilt and I am comfortable with our current circumstances. In the end, I have a healthy and happy baby whose mommy is just as happy and healthy.
Thank you, everyone, for the support. I would not have been able to stick it out this long without all of the encouraging words. Hopefully I can avoid all this the next time around and get it right the first time :)
Thank you,
Kelly
Proud of you!
ReplyDelete"Getting it right" does not always mean "nursing till self weaning"! (coming from someone who is still nursing a 3 y/o and a 20 mo old! ;) ) You have to do what works for you and your family. You know you can get ahold of me any time! Love you!
