not anymore...today marks one week since i've nursed tills. bittersweet is the only way to describe the feelings i have. my milk supply decreases more and more each day, right around my babies 9th or 10th month; which coincidentally is when my babies start getting teeth. i am not the type that "loves to nurse." but i am always sad when it's over. there is that special little bond that you feel when you're a nursing mother. the feeling that your baby needs you and only you. i only got one breast infection this time around, and it was very mild compared to the ones i got with my other kiddies. won't miss that. tilley started having one formula bottle a day around 6 months of age, and luckily has no intolerance to lactose (like big sister did). and although i always feel a little sad when i pack the hooter hider and medela away, i also always feel very happy. i feel free.
