Lately Henrietta hasn't been as interested in nursing. She is eating more regular food and it is hard to want to nurse when you have so much to look at. This means that at least once a day I get engorged. It hurts and I leak all over the place.

Somedays I am so ready to be done with this.

How long did you want to try to go with breastfeeding?

I am going to pump for a year since it is mostly easy. A little annoying to take breaks like I do but it is only two a day. She does get some formula because the stress of pumping three times a day was too much.

After a year I am going to see if I can still just nurse in the morning and at night. She really finds it comforting but who knows what she will be like at that point.
