On Saturday April 16th I nursed Samantha for the last time, it was bittersweet. I knew she was ready, she was not taking much from me at that point and I was just holding on for me and our routine. I am beyond happy and proud we made it to a year! Our breastfeeding experience was nothing but wonderful and I can not wait to nurse our second whenever that may come.
The transition to milk was not easy. For one I never pumped since I am home with her, so she never got milk from a bottle. Two breast milk is MUCH thinner then whole milk. So when she hit 11 months, I started to try to get her on milk....well it took a whole month but we did it. We had to use strawberry syrup to flavor her milk and I put less and less each day till we are finally at no flavoring! I am so proud of our little girl!
