Last week I asked how to be ok with my almost. 9 month old stopping nursing because I was having supply issues. Thank you all for your kind words. I wanted to update that my milk came back! So we are back in action and he never had to take formula.

I spoke with another lactation consultant and she told me to stop pumping and stop giving bottles. Basically he only ate from me or he didn't eat (within reason of course). And by the end of the day it was already getting better. Now 5 days later, it's like it never happened.

So again, thanks so much to those of you who offered advice and kind words. It was really apprecaited. Lesson learned- don't give up!!!

What can I do next?

Good! I'm so glad it's going better! I'm convinced 8-10 months is the MOST difficult nursing age!
