All Done!

Well, today is the day that Carly is all finished with her frozen milk. I never in my wildest dreams thought that Carly would nurse for over a year, or that the stock pile I created would last until she was 18 months. Around 11 months we transitioned Carly from nursing to drinking thawed milk in a sippy cup, and I was down to pumping on occasion since I had resigned from my teaching position and would not need to be sending milk to daycare. Then around 1 year we began introducing whole milk, which slowed down the depletion of frozen milk supply. When Carly quit nursing at Christmas we began thawing two bags a day, she would use them for nap times and at bedtime. Between December and now she has begun drinking less and less at nap time and bed time (and dropped her second nap), and as a result 1 bag has lasted two bedtime routines and the nap time in between. Well, last night I thawed our last bag and tonight she finished the last 2 ounces.
