The end of the Mama Milk

Tomorrow my little baby will be 6 months old!  Nursing has become a stressor... Ever since his surgery, Coby has not been interested in nursing and I have been manually expressing a few times a day.  A month ago, I was getting about 2 ounces a day, now I am down to 1/4 ounce a day.  As much as I want to continue, and I would if he had been nursing at all, I think this is the end of the Mama Milk.  It makes me really sad, I have been holding on for so long... This has been a difficult journey from the start.  I guess I can take what I have learned and will use it for the next baby, G-d willing.  I feel like I have lost something by giving up.  I guess the good news is that I can eat soy and dairy now :)
