I hope you don't mind me posting this to you here...I think that you still lurk around here occassionally and might have some advice for me. The reason for my post is that I think I remember you deciding to stop breastfeeding Brooke about 7 months. Lucy is almost 6 months old and I have run into a major problem. It turns out somewhere between her 4 month appointment and now my milk supply has gone way south. I sensed a growing problem but didn't know exactly what was wrong - I just knew something was not right. I finally took Lucy to the doctor on Sat only to find out she has lost weight since her 4 month appointment. Anyway, over the last 2-1/2 days I have been pumping up a storm every 3 hours and after every feeding and giving formula supplementation (which turns out to be a lot!). I am thinking that this is probably the end of breastfeeding for me and am curious how you dealt with your transition. How did you start? How long did it take? Did Brooke have any trouble as you made the change?

I appreciate any advice you might have. Thanks!
