DD is 10.5 months and aside from a week of formula supplementing when I was on a high dose of antibiotics for a stubborn (read - monthlong) case of mastitis, she's been EBF. I've been pumping twice a day during work and once at around midnight before bed. One thing - I HATE pumping. Nursing is great and I really enjoy our quiet time together, but pumping is no fun at all. Two night ago I was super tired and she went to bed later than usual so last nurse session was later than usual, so I decided to skip my midnight pump for the first time. Then last night I was chatting with DH and he said I should give myself a break with the midnight pumping. I get up for work at 6 and purposely stay up until midnight to pump, so I'm pretty much running on fumes everyday. I've got about 40 bags of milk in the freezer so even if my daytime pumps aren't enough for her while I'm at work, those will last well into my 1 year Bf goal.

I'd love to drop the midnight pump but I'm a little sad that she's already old enough for me to consider it. Any other moms get sentimental about dropping a nursing or pump session?

I'm hoping she weans from daytime BM by 1-ish but I'd continue to nurse her in the morning and night until she self weans. Omg ok I'm getting teary thinking she's turning one soon.......
