So we’re headlong into weaning in the Me Household. It’s entirely my fault that it’s been left to the very end because well, I’ve been negating the fact that I really have to go back to work.
5 days until I’m getting up at the ass crack of dawn to be at my desk by 7:30AM. What-the-fuck-am-I-thinking?
So ya. Two kids, daycare drop off and traffic. I am going to be rising before the summer sun in hopes of dropping them off as the doors open at 7am to be at my desk by 7:30. It’s bad enough trying to get one kid out the door, but myself up, showered dress and them as well?
Pray for me.
What was I talking about before I was so rudely sidetracked by work?
Ah yes.
My boobs.
THIS IS THE POINT WHERE MY MALE READERS READER WILL WANT TO STOP BECAUSE AS MUCH AS THEY’D LOVE TO SEE A POST ABOUT TITS AND ASS, THIS IS MORE A POST ABOUT BREASTS WHICH HAVE SUSTAINED LIFE FOR 11 MONTHS – WORKING BREASTS IF YOU MAY. THIS IS YOUR FIRST AND LAST WARNING!
I’m yelling because that’s the only way I seem to be able to get my point across to men. Sorry, it’s just the truth.
I was contemplating doing the morning and night breast feeding while Hudson is in daycare, but I’ve changed my mind leaving my boobs in a state of flux.
Seriously, they’re screaming at my this very moment.
They don’t know what the fuck is going on. The left one is producing milk while the right is just going with the flow and doesn’t give a shit.
I think if it were at all possible, my right breast would be the male in this relationship.
While the right is just hanging low and not caring what choice I make regarding a suckling or not, the left one is a fiery, angry bitch.
Clearly the left breast would be the female. Duh.
And did I mention angry? Leftie can’t handle this indecisiveness and she it’s letting that be known. Tender, lumpy and FIERY. Feeling a little rock hard-ish in spots, I’m beginning to wonder if there’s an organized union of milk ducts readying a protest against my body and Leftie.
I think nursing would alleviate the pressure and pain, but those milk ducts are rallying the troops for a fight and I think it would just piss them off further if we were to fuck with them again, yanno? And there’s just no reasoning with lactating milk ducts.
And the more I play with them, the more they ache.
And by play I clearly mean compress and knead, not fondle and grope. Geez.
Can I just say that I am a only slightly disappointed that nursing has come to an end; and only slightly because instead of full and perky fun bags we’ll shortly be back to that look of oranges in tube socks.
Lovely.

Do not compress and knead. Do not touch. But seriously, cold cabbage leaves could be your
breastbest friend! Seriously, it works to make the pain go away! Good luck!And sorry you have to go back to work, but I’m assuming you’ve had the year-off maternity leave, so I don’t feel too bad for you!

new reader, here. i totally relate to this post! made me laugh out loud – coworkers wondered what i was doing!
Dude! I totally forgot cabbage leaves! They were my bestest friends during booby madness (what I fondly call the period where my boobs were giant, hot, red, rock hard, painful protrusions that were almost amputated). It really works!
I should apologize for laughing so hard at your fighting bewbs…it was really funny!!

I nursed him a little this evening just to help alleviate the pain. He wanted his bottle more, so that’s fine by me!
Them boobs ain’t fighting at the moment. LOL
I remember weaning by pumping out less each time and further apart each time, pushing them just a bit more over a week or two, and it didn’t hurt that way, tapering it off. Maybee you could apply the same, giving him just a nibble less, and less frequently until it can be skipped altogether? Might be easier than the painful engorgement.
kittenpie´s last blog post..Worn
My boobs have never been perky so I haven’t really noticed a difference from before and since my two year old weaned. But my SIL gave me a wonderful description of her’s. She said they now look like fried eggs hanging from a nail. HA!
Kristen´s last blog post..Maybe I should open a cupcake stand at the end of my drive way!
All I’m saying is pumping at work sucked ass. You get so busy you almost don’t want to make the time for it just so you can get through your day and see your family quicker. But then you do and it’s all this is taking so long but I really am doing a good thing for the kids and for myself but then I gotta store this and hope nobody drinks it…Ugh.
You’re bringing back so many memories of returning to work after the twins. I cried everyday that first week. Multiple times.
Know I’m hugging and squeezing you and wishing you all the best with the whole commute/drop off/workplace assholes/ missing your babies thing…but uh please promise not to leak on me, k

@WM, Bwahahaha! OMG. Duly noted. Will not go to you for support. xox I guess that means I have to find someone else to call on Monday morning. *sigh*
Oh man, that picture is hilarious and frightening!
I’m in the cabbage leaf camp. I wish your sore, achy boobies my best. I’d say, “give them a kiss from Jennifer,” but that would be weird and inappropriate.
@Jennifer, Playgroups are no place for children, You are entirely too weird and inappropriate. I wouldn’t expect anything different. My boobs thank you.
*snicker*
New reader….your title caught my eye!
I am also facing a boob backlash. My son is 13-months-old and has no interest in stopping nursing. I made the mistake of not using bottles the last three months during a move and job search. Now he is having nothing of the silicone counterpart. It is a daily battle, and I too have one breast really putting up a fight.
Nothing about this child-rearing thing is easy is it??
