Breastfeeding/Pumping Check-In 7/6/17

[dancerspose]

Hey ladies how is everyone doing?

peaseblossom55 how is the weaning going?

mickey24 is she gaining, how're things going?

danib any luck getting a bottle or sipply cup?

karabear how'd the almond milk go?

Did I miss anyone; anyone want to join us?

As for me - after a really nasty bought of food poisoning last week I'm ending my EPing journey a little sooner than planned. My supply tanked after being so sick, and I need to give my body a rest. I'm going to start weaning this weekend - dropping one of my pumps. Hopefully I'll be fully weaned in the next 2-3 weeks, depending on how quickly I want to do it. I have enough of a frozen stash that we will use to combo feed with as long as possible so hopefully Z will get at least some BM until about 8-9 months. We also started introducing solids a few weeks ago (at 5 months) and that's been going really well so far. 

I will post check-ins for those interested as I wean.  Is anyone else interested in taking over?

I had an appointment this week and DH decided to try DS on a bottle. Little guy finally took it!!

Hi thanks for the tag. I am done weaning as of this weekend. It feels a bit sad but also freeing. I am so glad I did what I could.

Good luck dancerspose with the weaning.

dancerspose I hope you are feeling better, and good luck with weaning.

I am happy to say she gained six ounces. We will go back next week for another check since her trend is to gain and then not as she grows. I'm slowly building s freezer stash. I'm only freezing 2 ounces a day and using the rest of what I pump during the day when not BF for the middle of the night feeds. As of right now I have an entire days feeding in the freezer. Doing it this way has been less overwhelming.
