weaning and transitioning to milk -very emotional
My DB is going ot be 11 months next weekend. I went back to work when she was 2 months old, been pumping since then. shes only had BM. i nurse her in the AM and before bed, and on weekends. however, my supply lately has been awful- only gettign 2-3 ounces a day. my freezer stash is down to abotu 20 ounces, she takes 12 ounces when i'm gone. so my choice is to start transitioning ot milk tomorrow or do formula for 2 weeks. i'm leaning towards milk. - what would you do? although i am goign to be thrilled to stop pumping, i am extrmely emotional/crushed about weaning. i still hope to bf in the AM and before bed, but i dont know how long i will have milk for. DB actually refused ot nurse today, i think because of low supply (although when i offered a bottle, she only took 2 oucnes, so who knows). anyhow, jsut looking for some cheering up about the weaning. really feelign very emoitional.
