After 40 months my body was beyond done with pumping breastmilk. I tried every supplement and diet change to help make more, I even tried a prescription medicine that did help for a while. But Macsen is drinking fortified goat milk now and I felt comfortable finally packing this pump away. Comfortable and elated to be honest. Pumping milk 4+times per day and sometimes overnight is a chore and I will not miss it!I finally have some free time! I feel blessed I was able to produce as long as I did and that I was able to keep Macsen off a feeding tube for his first 3 years. I know the milk helped him fight off infections and out of the hospital so I am nervous finishing out the rest of the cold/flu season with just his immunity to protect him. But we can only do what we can do right? To a new chapter!
