I don't know if people know this, but I breastfeed my little one. I have been thinking of quitting because we've hit a really hard place in the road. I need to do what is best for me and my baby. I couldn't decide what is best because I think either way (breastfeeding or bottle feeding) is good. I just didn't think I could make it one more day. Today has been really good, and now I think I can make it another day or even a week. Isn't it strange how you can change your mind so quickly?
I read this blog, and this is why I can't quit, I just couldn't put my feelings into words. I have this one thing with my baby that no one else shares with her. She smiles at everyone. She coos for them, too. But nursing her is my thing. And even though it's incredibly hard, I can't imagine giving it up...yet. I know that our last day will come...maybe sooner than later, but I will be ready for that day when it's time. It's not time yet.
So, here's the blog that puts these hard places into perspective...and it's why I can't quit. All Gone

Aw, thanks for linking to me. What a sweet, sweet baby you have. Best of luck with the nursing, and with the crying, and with all the joyous/frustrating/fleeting days ahead.
Wow! You are a tropper! I admire your tenacity and your unfailing love for your baby girl. I only hope I am as good of a mom as you are. By the way, I love the website and I linked to it today!
Bonnie,
You are a WONDERFUL mother no matter what you choose to do with Audrey. Remember, no one is forcing you to quit breastfeeding her, so if you want to continue then do it! But if you choose to stop, you got this far...and Audrey still knows you are her Mommy and loves you more than anyone else!You are irreplaceable in her heart!
Love, Jodi
