It’s been a good run!

Just wanted to thank everyone here who helped me along my breastfeeding journey. I’ve ready many posts and have asked questions myself and I thank everyone for helping! We are working our way to being a formula only family. Baby girl is almost 5 months old with about 2wks of milk stored. I didn’t want to stop this early as I LOVE the bonding time and knowing I’m feeding my little girl, but I need to stop for health reasons. I’ve lost 19lbs from my prepregnancy weight and I’m officially underweight on a BMI scale. I keep getting sick because I can’t eat enough to keep up with her. I recently got the flu for a 2’nd time and that led to mastitis and my supply naturally dropped anyways. I’m taking from that cue and I’m slowly weaning her. I hope to make it another 2 weeks or so but we are preparing for the switch. I’m so sad but I know I need to be healthy for my little one and than fed is best. I was also hospitalized with a seizure when she was 6wks postpartum due to sleep deprivation and stress. Thank you all and enjoy it while you can! Its hard but it gets so much easier and I will forever be grateful that I could provide for her this long. ❤️
