I am down to BFing in the morning and before bed. I am sooooo ready to be D-O-N-E!!! But as most extended BFers know, it's a lot harder to quit than one would think. I am really not sure how to drop either feed bc of engorgement. Would I get mastitis/clogged duct/etc? How do I get rid of these feeds? Is it ok to be engorged a little for a couple of days until my boobs get the memo?
I am leaving in the morning for an overnight trip. I will nurse LO in the am, leave and then will miss her night feed, her Tues morning feed, and probably her Tues night feed.
Do I HAVE to pump? Can I just let it ride and be uncomfortable? Or is that a dumb route? I am so ready to be done, and I am trying to figure out how I can use this work trip to get the job done, finally!
Any thoughts or advice? Would I be crazy to just STOP? As over BFing as I am, I would rather stick needles in my eyeballs than pump.
