Babies: 9 - 12 Months

Ending BFing will be harder on me....

Yes, it's harder to BF an 11 month old lately.... but I have also realized how much I enjoy it and how hard it will be for me to stop. I have no end in sight, but I know that one day it will come, probably before he is 18 months old. Anyone else not looking forward to stopping?

Re: Ending BFing will be harder on me....

  • I responded in your other thread but...

    I am dreading it, and I wouldn't even be considering it if we weren't going to TTC soon. Also, there is some medication that I need to take that I haven't been able to due to the pg and bf-ing.

    I'm with you. ?My original goal was 6 months, and now I don't see an end in sight. ?He loves it, I love it. ?We're happy.?
  • DD is getting close to being done.  She just doesn't BF long, isn't interested, and nothing I can do will make her. 

    I wanted to try and keep at least 1 nursing session after a year for a little bit, but I don't even know if I'll be able to keep her nursing for the next few weeks.  While I'm ready to be done, I'm also sad.  It seems like its going to be easy to stop since she is ready, but its also sad because she just doesn't "need" me in that way anymore!  If I stopped nursing her today, I dont think she'd mind one bit!

  • We're still at the stage where it's easy to BF, but I don't see an end in sight.  I'll keep going as long as she wants, up to 2 years.  I will be sad when it's over, but I bet by then I'll be ready for my next baby to start all over again.

  • Yea, I'm not ready yet either.... I cried one time when I thought of the day it will have to end.
  • I dreaded it too. I was so afraid I was going to miss it, and I loved the bond we had together.

    Now that I am done though, I can honestly say that it feels AWESOME to have my body back :o)  I don't feel guilty, or upset, or miss the bond anymore. Those feelings were very temporary for me.
