Default Breastfeeding - Shall I finally give up?

Breastfeeding takes so much time out of my day. I do breastfeed my baby + I am pumping and build up supply in the freezer. I am getting exhausted and tired of the additional stress. Is 6 month of breastfeeding good enough for my baby to be prepared?

How long have you breastfed yours?

Darling

Big hugs to you! You're probably so sleep deprived and hanging on with all you've got. I've been there! Really! It DOES get better. I was so relieved when I was able stop pumping. I had so much supply in the freezer that we had 6 more weeks without the need to buy formula.

You rock. You already have given your little one so much by doing breastfeeding. Be proud.

I know it seems hard sometimes and as though you are just a milk cow, but think of what is best for your baby. Yes 6 months is good, but if you are physically able to breastfeed and have the milk, I would say keep going. I work full time and have to pump as well, so I know how tired you can get sometimes. Just keep in mind that breastfeeding as long as possible is what is best for your baby in the long run. Good Luck !!
