Since this whole thrush stuff has come about, I am finding it very painful to breastfeed our daughter. And so I have decided to start weaning her so I can be free from nursing at the end of September, first week of October. I feel that I am ready to let this part go too. I have been breastfeeding for over nine months, and by the time we are finished a solid 10 + months. Pretty good. So, the process has begun, I have eliminated a morning feed. I will do that for few days/week and go down from there. IF I am not where I want to be in a few weeks my doc says he can give me
meds to cut down my still ample supply. Then I basically go cold turkey with her. I am sure she will not like EITHER way, but hey...I am ready to get my body back FOR GOOD. And move on from this thing called babyhood. Sad but true.
Weaning will give me freedom, and that is a good thing. I have spent MANY years in total breastfeeding. Around five years, closer to six JUST breastfeeding. Oh yes! Can you see why I want my body back!
And if I wean, I am off to my race! And, I am sure the balance of my weight will come off better too. My doc says that happens. So...
I have seven weeks until my half marathon! Woo!
