After struggling hard the last several weeks, I think we are giving up on nursing. The goal was always to go as long as seemed right for both Xander and me, and at least past his surgery. That goal has been met, and Xander is now refusing to nurse so often that my supply has dwindled to next to nothing, which only makes him less inclined to nurse, and both of us frusterated.
It's really too bad. I was actually really happy that now that I'll be home for a little while that I could nurse him more and longer than we might otherwise have managed with me working. Alas, it does appear Xander has other ideas.
On the bright side, I'll never have to experience the otherwise inevitable first "bite" now that Xander has teeth coming in!
So congratulations to Xander and me for making it this long, and here's to being able to poke Jake more often and say "your turn!"
