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).
