Frustrated

My cute girls!

Right now I am sitting in the Pharmacy at the hospital answering phones, which is annoying in itself, but the conversation is really frustrating. There are two pharmacists sitting here talking about how they are tired of nursing their eager infants who like to eat and how they are thinking of weaning them early. I love breastfeeding and so it is so frustrating for me to hear things like that when they are knowledgeable people who know the benefits of it. Fine if it is not working that is one thing, but to wean a child who is perfectly capable of breastfeeding just because you don't want to do it anymore - that is ridiculous. I guess I am just kind of fired up about it because of my situation and my messed up body that restricts my children from growing appropriately. I would love to breastfeed another child, even if I had to sacrifice sleep at night to cuddle with them and comfort them and here are two women with healthy children and they are tired and don't want to nurse their children anymore. AHHH! It makes me really sad and now I am crying at work because I don't understand why my body is this way and it hurts to not be able to have something I want so badly. Sorry if that offended anyone. Breastfeeding is a choice for everyone, but it is awesome and amazing and one of the best rewards of motherhood in my mind. I just needed to vent and have a bit of a pity party. Sorry.
