My daughter has been exclusively breastfed until she was 9 months, however I’ve unfortunately had to stop. I got diagnosed with hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid) as well as Graves’ disease, which is an autoimmune disorder due to hyperthyroidism.
It’s been a tough few months of VERY low energy, fast/irregular heartbeat, and losing lots of weight even though I was already thin. I had to go on medication, even though I hate taking meds, but I didn’t have a choice.
Due to the medication and the need to regulate my hormones, I had to stop breastfeeding. I was devastated and my daughter definitely wasn’t ready to stop.
My doctor allowed me to BF for a few more weeks so I could wean my daughter off. I didn’t want to stop cold turkey so we were able to cherish the last few weeks of breastfeeding together.
She’s now drinking the breastmilk I saved as well as goat milk formula. I’m sad this chapter is over but I’m so glad I got to breastfeed her for 9 months. My goal was 1 year so we almost made it! #lemon8partner #breastfeedingjourney #breastfeedingsupport #breastfeedingmom #exclusivelybreastfed #ebfjourney #breastfedbaby #goatmilk #pumpingmom #momsoflemon8
