It’s starting to sink in

FTM with a 7.5 month old.

I always said I would try to breastfeed since I had no clue how I would handle it, if I’d be able to, if i would produce enough...and always questioned myself. I never set a goal for how long if breastfeed. I just planned to go with what my body did naturally. Once my baby boy was born, I knew instantly that I would do all that I could to nurse, no matter how painful it was in the beginning. I absolutely fell in LOOVE with breastfeeding.

But now, 7.5 months later, I’m not producing anywhere near what my lo needs. I’m literally producing drops. It makes me so sad. Even though I began this journey questioning if I’d be able to do this, I’m proud that I have made it this far. But honestly, I’m not emotionally ready to end that special time with my lo. It is slowly sinking in that I will no longer be able to give my baby anything. I’m not ready to stop but my body is saying otherwise. 😩

I just wish I could have a little more time....
