Start of the end of my BFing journey

[Canwi]

Today is the first day I haven't brought my pump to work since returning to work after DS2 was born.  
It's a bittersweet day.  

Good because it frees me from having to pump on my breaks and having to lug my oversized lunch bag to accomodate the pump, milk etc and my own lunch.  I had been pumping for the last 5 months more to maintain supply.  DS2 has been BFing less and less at home so I don't have to pump for personal comfort.  

Sad because it signals the end of my BFing journey - possible forever as the likelyhood of having more children is pretty slim.  

Just a bit pensive and sad.

You are such a wonderful woman/mum & a real inspiration, you've had such a wonderful journey & made such a great investment in your kids by bfing so long, almost 2 yrs each..!!!!

I actually stopped bringing my pump to work a couple of weeks ago and was feeling silly that I was sad about it - I complained about it all the time and yet it felt *wrong* not to be pumping.  Thank you for posting, it actually makes me feel a bit better to know that it's not silly to feel this way and that others feel it too.

Here for (((hugs))) and a virtual hand to hold whenever you need it

Wow on the bfing experience you have given your LOs. 

I just weaned a few weeks ago at 22 months and I was very sad too.  Its bittersweet for sure so allow yourself to feel sad but also congratulate yourself on the amazing length of time you bf for.
