Starting a new job

So I am the proud mom to a six month old little boy. He is happy and healthy. We have had a fairly easy breastfeeding journey so far and I have no regrets about him being both nursed and bottle fed expressed milk. But I think our breastfeeding journey might end soon. I recently took on a position as a coroner doing death investigations. I have wanted a position in the forensics field for a long time and I am so excited. My problem is the unpredictability of the job itself I can’t set a strict pump schedule. I enjoyed my journey to this point but I find myself just wanting to finish. I hate pumping but obviously can’t be with my little bear 24/7. I look back and cherish the moments and look forward to everything that comes next whether it be continuing with pumping and nursing or slowly switching to formula while using my freezer stash. Just remember mammas the fed is best!!

This is my little one Barrett hence my little bear.

Update: thank you all for excitement on the new job! I love it so far. It is a different opportunity that is not only allowing me to grow with a new career but grow on a personal level. I have decided that my breastfeeding journey is finished mainly because my little guy has two teeth and has started biting me and I had said since the day I got pregnant I’ll breastfeed until he has teeth and can bite me! I’m really happy with my decision and nervous about starting formula. I know everything will work out the way it’s supposed to. I do want to say to all the moms out there have faith and don’t give up. breastfeeding is hard work and don’t ever let anyone tell you otherwise.
