Still Pumping - just some thoughts

I kind of just need a moment to get some thoughts on paper...

I've been exclusively pumping since LO was 10 month old. Now at 21 months my goal (if my body allows) is two years. Please no judgement, everyone has different goals and ideas for breastfeeding/pumping.

Today is my first day of only two pumps a days. I've slowly been dropping pumps since she only drinks 5oz breast milk a day (I freeze any extra and donate it) and hasn't been dependent on it for a while.

I'm just having big feelings that stopping is on the horizon. Since I've decided to drop to two pumps, my pumping journey may be over sooner than March since my supply may quickly decrease - if that's the case I will stop sooner than 2 years old.

She is going to be our only child, so I'm a little sad that once I stop I will never again breast feed or provide milk. I know that seems weird but since day one I have just been amazed that my body has given my child food and nutrition.

However, I am happy that when the time comes I won't be tied to a pump schedule. Sometimes keeping on schedule can be such a pain in the ass. 😂

I am so incredibly grateful to my body for supplying milk for this long.

Thanks for letting me get some of my thoughts out. I just needed a moment.
