Weaning

Okay, so I have decided to stop breast feeding. I have gone back and forth with the decision for awhile now. I am doing what I feel is best for Brooklyn. I am kinda worn out about the whole situation. I have really been beating myself up about it. But Brooklyn seems to be happier when she is full. And the only way she gets full is when she drinks formula. I just have to accept that I tried and we BF for awhile and now it is time to move on. I would much rather have a healthy happy baby. Why do I feel like I have to defend myself while explaining this?

Oh and by the way....this is pretty painful literally and emotionally.

please don't feel like you have to defend yourself!! You gave her a great gift for so many months - what more could she ask for? You did an awesome job. Happy mommy = happy baby. and visa versa.

great pic, btw
