Short Story: It's time to wean and my mixed emotions are taking a toll on me!

Long Story: DD (7 months) is allergic to eggs, corn, and potentially soy. I've eliminated those from my diet. I am sensitive to dairy, so consume very little. We've started Alimentum RTF (to my knowledge, the only formula that does not contain corn!) and she seems to be doing okay.

It's time to stop pumping. I WOH 45-50+ hours a week, and am entering my busy season so that will increase. I am going to struggle finding time to pump. I am sick of everything relating to pumping. Not to mention the elimination diet is going to be difficult to sustain.

Yesterday was our first day transitioning to the formula. I realized that our last time BF might have happened, without even knowing it. So this AM I breastfed her, wistfully knowing that might be it.

I know in my heart this is the right thing to do. I can be a better, happier mom if I am not connected to a pump at all. My goal was to BF until 3 months, then 6 months. My ultimate goal was always 12 months, but I considered that bonus and promised myself I wouldn't continue if it was unreasonable.

I'm not looking to be talked out of my plan, but just to hear from mamas that have been here. Thank you!
