I absolutely love nursing.
Being able to breastfeed all my babies has been a blessing. It is interesting, though, how each of them have been a different and unique experience.
Carmen was the BEST. I produced lots of milk and she loved it. When it was time to stop ( at around 9 months old), she had no problem changing to a bottle, and she's been a really good eater after that.
Evan, bless my soul, was hard. He would only take one breast, so it left my nipple bleeding, left me lob-sided, and it left him hungry... not very pleasant but still good. He stopped at 8 months. (I couldn't wait any longer to have my boobs back to my normal size again!).
Isabel has been good too. I didn't get the milk right away, and she was almost premature so she has been drinking bottles from the beginning.
The problem is now that I want to stop nursing ( she is almost 18 months!) and SHE WON"T LET ME!.
I try to talk to her into giving me my freedom back...but this is her face! :D
She is not letting me... not yet.
And even though I want to stop, I now that I will continue to nurse as long as she wants.
I know I will not be able to give her the best of everything, but at least i give her the best option of feeding right now.
(PS: Does anybody know of a good plastic surgeon for my boob job??
No kidding!
I am happy with my size....but we all know they are not the same).

oh my goodness, Owen won't let me stop either, he's so attached to nursing! He doesn't really drink from bottles, just chews on them. I want my boobs back too!
Jajaja... yo sé de una persona muy allegada que se ha puesto pechos ace poco por esa misma razón. A mí me parece una barbaridad, la verdad, pero claro, cada una tiene sus sentimientos a respecto.
Para mí, dar el pecho también ha sido una experiencia muy especial. Es verdad que con cada hija ha sido muy diferente, y la que más me aguantó fue Valeria, hasta los 7meses; así que ya ves, no mucho :D
De todas formas yo creo que mi leche era desnatada, porque no engordaban nada, aunque tuve suerte con el sueño porque las tres empezaron a dormir toda la noche del tirón a las pocs semanas.
En fin, disfruta mucho de lo que te queda. Es triste cuando ves que se acaba... pero es verdad que es la mejor opción de todas!!
Ha ha, that picture is hilarious!!! How can you say no to that adorable face?! I can't say I've experienced the child that doesn't want to stop nursing- both of mine stopped on their own, but I hear it can be hard to handle sometimes. I know what you mean about boobs, I want my pre-baby boobs back, I never really got to say good-bye to them!!
Sarah...you're not nursing anymore!!! I didn't know that!!
