Hi everyone. I posted not long ago as I'm pregnant and have felt myself getting dryer by the day and my 11 month old son has only really been suckling on and off as he wanted to, mainly for comfort/cuddle time.
However it has been a whole 49 hours since he last asked and last night once I'd got him to bed for the 2nd time ever without a breast feed I was crying my heart out. I guess I just feel like he's growing up now and no longer my wee baby :cry: .
Now this coming from a woman who was dead against breastfeeding all her life, and who couldn't even look at pictures of women doing it in books! After at least 9 weeks of agony I stuck at it and grew to love everything about it, and so did my son. He loved breastfeeding and I could never imagine him stopping. I guess I feel if I wasn't pregnant that he would still be getting what he needs from me, but he doesn't seem to be missing it so far. I can't believe how sad I am though! But hey - I'll be starting again from scratch in a few months, and at least hubby can have them back to himself for a while first :wink: !!
Thanks for all your support when i've needed it xxxxxx
