I'm done

At exactly one year after breastfeeding and pumping, I regretfully have to throw in the towel. This post is to remember those moments by.



This is bought brand new, solely for my breastmilk.



Put together in a ziplock bag and label by month.

The last few.. sob sob
Arrange this way in the freezer.. there was a time when I got 2 layers of this.

This is it

Another angle

And this is why I stopped. I was pumping blood for nearly a month and they just wouldn't heal. After a month, I gave up and took it as a sign.

  1. Oh dear! And you wanna know something after 3 months of stopping breastfeeding my right breast got so engorged badly, i was feverish and was given 2 days mc, if the sore and swell still persist, i need to be referred to the specialist. Keeping my fingers crossed that everything will be fine.

  2. Really Puteq? Well, no such thing for me. I was already making so little that my boobs adjusted fine. It was meant to be kot. Did everything I could.

  4. Dikny, it is indeed fresh blood. And no, don't worry, it won't happen to you :-) It didn't happen to me either during my previous baby, this time around I'm not sure what happened.. the breastshield somewhat cut through my nipples and susah sangat nak baik. So after a month, I decided enough was enough. Sakit sangat dikny :-(

  5. Hey the good thing is now you can convert that ice box to store ice-cream and other frozen food instead.

  6. Haha.. puteq.. i've actually sold it off. I just had it for 5 months. It was too painful to look at at an empty freezer and a friend needed a freezer pronto for her increasing frozen breastmilk.. so I thought, what the heck.
