i really miss b/f
« on: February 22, 2007, 04:38:33 am »
so this is a little weird... DS has been self-weaned for about three months now, and i really, really miss it. i miss the closeness of it with DS, but also just the physical act of nursing. i guess it felt like my boobies finally had a "proper" purpose. maybe i'd have felt different if i'd been the one who had chosen to wean? and i can't say there weren't days i didn't wish he would, finally  :P i don't want to sound too silly, but i have little daydreams that i just pop him back on there, and away we go again! i know i just need to get over this and plan for LO #2. in the mean time i'm going to treat myself to some pretty, non-nursing bras! time to throw away the old dingy greys!

thanks for listening  :)

I feel for you! I have a friend who's trying to conceive and had to wean to do it and she gets this intensely wistful look on her face every time she sees me nurse Samantha.  :(

{{{HUGS}}}  I think the only thing that kept me from being super sad when Lilah weaned at 22 months was the fact that I way already 3 months pregnant and knew I'd be doing it again soon.  That said, I actually do still miss nursing Lilah, my first baby... sigh. :'(

I chose to wean Jessica only a couple of days before finding out I was pregnant.  I miss it ALL the time!  She was losing interest fast so I took her cues...but I really miss the closeness. I long to bf this new one!  I hope it is as much of a rewarding experience as it was with Jess.

HUGS...I know how you feel!   :-*

I am just learning (and continue to learn everyday) how complex are the variety of emotions we experience as mothers....
