“We buy more MoMos?”

by Jill May 5, 2016
May 5, 2016

First, let me just acknowledge that I am usually a little skeeved out by the weird words/terms other people use to refer to their breastmilk- milkies, moomies, bobos, whatever… it’s all weird to me.

Except also? Lowell calls it MoMos. So here I am seeing you and understanding that that is a weird thing for some, and it’s okay to cringe at it because I GET YOU.

But back to the MoMos….

IMG_2037

They’re all dried up, done, completely defunct after nearly 3 years.

This is the longest I’ve nursed a baby by almost a full year, and I never intended for it to go this long, but I also DGAF. And I especially DGAF that you may GAF. So put your fucks away or leave.

So how? How did I get this child I thought would breastfeed FOREVER to give it up? Well, I just took a couple work trips and didn’t pump, made myself dry up, only made him cry about 3 times, and here we are now. I know, I should write a book.

I came back from a business trip over the weekend, and the first time he asked for “MoMos” was Monday after school. I explained that the MoMos are all gone, but he persisted, tearing at my shirt. So I was like, welp. I mean, you can try? But buddy, they are done.

And so after a couple sucks on one side, followed by a couple more on the other, he looked at me and said, “Momma? We buy more MoMos?” And that was that…. ish. Obviously we can’t buy more because not only do I not have access to a wet nurse, I’m certain I could not afford one. But we can buy more Lightning McQueen cars, so maybe that’s almost the same thing?

My middle kiddo weaned during my third pregnancy. One day He looked up at me and in the most scandalized tone of voice a 2 year old can muster, said “the noms are GONE!” ?
I quietly explained that the noms were gone because “you drank them all” and a few months later that there would be more noms, for new baby.
Randomly in the middle of the summer, a month or so before my due date, he said “mama, you don’t have any more noms because I drank them all. But soon there will be more! But not for me, for Em’is.”
Once, after my milk came back, he asked to nurse and I once again explained that this was Emrys’s milk, that he drank all of his.

Okay, “Noms” is absolutely the most adorable breastmilk term, and I fully endorse it with no cringing at all.

Jill, I feel like I’ve been nursing along with you since I became a mom five years ago or so. My youngest is only 2, but I can see the end coming and maybe looking like yours and LoLo’s. It’s kind of sad, but here’s to having that part of your body back for good now.

It’s definitely a little of both. I’ve been working on it with him for so long now that I really, truly was ready. I’m sure I’ll miss it though.

this is almost where I am with my second. I planned to nurse her until she turned 2 (which is what I did for my first), and she’s only 21 months but she seems to be losing interest. I went on a work trip last month and didn’t pump, and have another one coming up in a couple of weeks, and I have a feeling after that it will be over. I’m pretty sure I’m more emotional about it than she is! Each night she asks for it but then only nurses for like 30 seconds per side before asking for a book. This is definitely the beginning of the end! And no more babies in my future, so I guess this is the end of my nursing career, period. I’m excited to wear regular bras again, I have to say.

I love this just so much! My little guy just turned 3 and I never thought he would nurse this long. My daughter was 3 and the transition only really happened because her little bro was born, but I just thought this one would be different. I wasn’t sure how to give him the old “boot from the boob”, but now I’m inspired! Freedom NOW!

I want to express some thanks to you for rescuing me from this type of dilemma. Because of looking throughout the online world and obtaining ideas that were not productive, I figured my entire life was well over. Living without the presence of solutions to the problems you’ve sorted out by way of your main article is a serious case, as well as those which could have adversely damaged my entire career if I hadn’t discovered the website. Your expertise and kindness in touching everything was tremendous. I don’t know what I would have done if I had not discovered such a step like this. I am able to at this time look ahead to my future. Thanks a lot very much for the high quality and sensible guide. I won’t hesitate to endorse the sites to anybody who needs and wants counselling about this issue.

My husband and i have been so more than happy that Peter could round up his investigation from the ideas he received out of the web page.
