[quote=Anonymous]I've just started the weaning process at 9 months.  I never supplemented with formula until now, but I really wish I had.  I was killing myself with nursing and pumping, trying to get her as much as I could without resorting to the dreaded formula.  We've had a few problems along the way: nursing strike at 3 months which lasted a miserable week, absolute refusal to nurse under a cover in public which was necessary for me because of my massive breasts, thrush, and then another surprising nursing strike, which convinced me that weaning was the way to go.  I've still been able to nurse before bed and in the morning because DD only seems to refuse during the day when she's too distracted by the world, and I hope I can do that for a while.  I have a pretty good freezer stash, which I hope will get me through to 12 months with some formula thrown in.

As far as deflated breasts, I'm praying mine will deflate a bit!  I went from a 32E pre-pregnancy to now a 34I.  I just can't lug these things around anymore!  I also lost barely any weight while nursing but have found that it's coming off more easily as I start to wean.  I got my period back at 5 months, which was rather annoying.  [/quote]
