When I first got pregnant I thought would breastfeed for at least a year. But now that Katie is here and I am back to work, I’m not so sure anymore. I enjoy the feedings I have with her in the morning and afternoons but pumping twice a day at work is kind of a pain. So I’m thinking I’ll just go until the end of this year. That would mean 8 months. Is this selfish?  I feel bad because I have milk for Katie, I’m just too lazy to pump it out. I know breast milk is good for her but formula has all the vitamins she needs right?

Well, yesterday, I started to think about breastfeeding in a different light. Breastfeeding could be synonomous with working out. I realized that I pretty much lost all my pregnancy weight from breastfeeding (it can burn up to 500 calories a day). So if I don’t breastfeed anymore, I will probably have to start exercising to stay in shape. Why not just keep breastfeeding then? I don’t even need to break a sweat! and of course Katie will be getting all the nutrients she needs.  hehe
