After Breastfeeding

I decided to breastfeed my daughter for various reasons: 1. It was the best thing for her. 2. It is free! Do you know how much formula costs? I didn't have too much trouble breastfeeding. In the beginning I had some issues with her wanting to breastfeed but they were resolved within a week. I had a good breastfeeding experience. I was sad when I stopped breast feeding my daughter. I missed the time that we had and the bond that we shared.

After I stopped producing milk, I noticed something very different about my boobs. They were floppy. They were floppy and somewhat squishy. They were no longer full and perky. I always told myself, "if I didn't have anything else, I had nice boobs." Really, it is something that can be fixed with a push-up bra but I know the difference. My husband tells me that my boobs are still nice but I think he might just be saying that to make me feel better.

I wouldn't of changed my decision to breastfeed for anything in the world. It was the best thing for my daughter and for our relationship. I just wish I had my boobs back.

Well, I am off to go buy a new push-up bra.
