Kenda -

I dont *plan* to tandem nurse, I really only wanted to nurse for a year - but I am actually surprised how much I enjoy nursing. I would enjoy it more if I didn't have to pump. I work full time and I have never been able to pump adequately. Like right now, I am getting only ONE ounce combined in TWO pumping sessions at work. I have read and tried all the secrets. I even started calling my Mom (who currently watches Maya while I am at work) and having her let me talk to Maya while I pump - and nothing helps my pumping volume.

I unfortuntely am running out of EBM in my freezer and am going to have to have Mom supplement with formula while I am gone, but I am still nursing as often as possible while I am home. Maya has recently started fighting me during nursing and acting like she is not at all interested in it. But mornings and nights are still so-so, so I try to get her to nurse as much as possible during those times.

You know its funny. I read everywhere about early weaning being tough on the baby, but I think Maya would be fine. I am the one that is having a hard time with it- even though there is some freedom knowing that she will no longer "need" me to eat. KWIM? This parenting stuff is crazy.

Thanks for letting me join you all.
