Today is the last day LO will get breast milk. She started refusing to nurse a couple of weeks ago so I'd been pumping what I could but hardly getting anything. I was able to get enough to give her a few ounces a day until today (she turns 7 months old today). I was gradually getting less every day and haven't pumped now since Friday.

She now has two teeth and I think that's why she stopped nursing. I feel guilty because I probably could have pumped more to keep a supply but I was just tired of dealing with all of it. I tried to see if she could get any milk today now that her teeth have come through and she looked really confused when nothing came out.

She seems to be eating on a more regular schedule with formula and because of that she's sleeping better. Overall, that's made us both happier and she still seems really healthy. I know I'm about to drive DH crazy with talking about how I wanted to make it to a year but I also know that now I have more information to breastfeed longer with a second child.

This is more of a vent than anything because I'm partially sad that I didn't make it to a year but I'm also relieved that I did make it to my short term goal of six months and that I don't have to worry about all of this anymore for a while now.
