restarting nursing

I quit nursing, I suppose you could say two days ago. I have been very slowly doing away with the human nipple for as long as I have been nursing henry. He is a good kid, easy going, just goes with the flow - but I have now no flow...so I haven't nursed. But I want to...for a few reasons...

1) it's pretty convenient. especially at 4am. I bump Ryan, he goes and gets him, brings him to bed. I nurse as I sleep. When I am done, I bump Ryan, and he brings him back.

2) it makes me skinny. No explanation needed.

3)I have heard it's good for them. At this point, though I don't think that's the best reason.

4)It gives me an excuse to go away sometimes, like if were at a party and I just want to duck away, I can use the old excuse of nursing (whether or not I am).

5) i think the prolactin actually relaxes me, I dont know maybe that's just a placebo effect.

so anyway, tonight I decided to take the plunge and dust off the old milk machine. I even sacraficed an old bra and cut little slits in it so I can go hands free (meaning I can get lots of blogging done!)

I don't know how long it will last. If it doesn't last long, at least I have a nice new bra that my nipples can stick out of. Sweet....
