It's over
« on: February 26, 2013, 20:07:09 pm »
 I gave my boy his last feed yesterday morning.  :-\ Didn't offer it today and he wasn't bothered about it at all, so I guess that's that. Mostly I am fairly happy about it - it did feel like the time had come, and he has been losing interest for a while, so it has mainly been for my benefit over the last couple of months - but I do feel a bit sad too. I fell pregnant with dd1 7 years ago, and in that time I have been pregnant or breastfeeding the whole time, so it really is the end of an era.  :'( I am ready to be done with the whole baby/toddler thing, and I so looking forward to when they are all as old and rational as m, but I have loved the last 7 years so much it is a little hard to let go.

Anyway, I just wanted to share and say a quick thank you to the ladies here who have helped me out on many occasions. It has been much easier to carry on feeding for as long as I have with the support of other mums doing the same thing - none of my friends has fed for as long, and I don't think any of them really gets it.

Big HUGS - it's totally normal to feel a bit down when stopping BF - you get another hormone slump like you do after you've given birth. Be kind to yourself :-*

{{{Hugs}}}  You did a great job, and it's hard coming to the end of an era.  It's worth stopping and remembering and feeling a bit sad!  I felt the same when I stopped feeding Zach - I'd spent 7 years pg or bf too.  Little did I know I'd be doing it all over again!  I only hope our end is so peaceful - I have a feeling it might not be!

I know what you mean about other mums not really understanding.  When it's been part of your life, rather than a few weeks of early babyhood, it's quite a different thing.

Hugs. What a great start you have given all your LOs. Be proud and allow yourself to feel sad too for a bit. And look forward to all the fab things to come.

As you become more clear about who you really are, you'll be better able to decide what is best for you - the first time around
