I hear often from women who quit breastfeeding for whatever reason and had  
no idea how much they would miss it.  Sometimes we think weaning is the  
solution only to find that breastfeeding was the answer and the problem had  nothing 
to do with breastfeeding after all.  I tell every one of the moms  who say 
this, "Well, then breastfeed."  The truth is, they can change their  mind and 
nurse again.  Maybe not with 100% milk supply or maybe with, who  knows for sure 
and it is always okay to breastfeed/nurse a baby regardless of  amount of 
milk transferred.  I encourage moms to change their minds all the  time. It is 
okay to say you made a mistake and equally okay to start over even  in mothering 
and breastfeeding...though I personally find them intricately  connected.
 
Take care, and don't let the hospital work get you down....go to an LLL  
meeting and suck up some happy mothering so it can hold you over!
