Last night nursing DD

Well, I think we have officially weaned.  Today is Stephie's 15-month birthday, and while it very bittersweet for me, I nursed her for what I think is probably the last time tonight.  I have my appt with the RE on Friday to discuss what it's going to take to TTC#2, and since I still haven't had even one PP AF, I think it will probably be a requirement before we start treatments again.  I thought tonight was a good milestone for us to hit, and I held her close just a few minutes longer thinking this is probably it for us.  She isn't very attached to nursing anymore, and I know I can't be making much anyway as we've been down to just nighttime feedings for several weeks now and she just nurses for a few minutes per side.  Sigh.  Funny how a lot of things are harder on the mommies than they are on the babies...

    I understand your sad feeling.  I nursed DD for the last time last Thursday.  I cried the next night when DH took her to bed to rock her.  That used to be our special time.  I just keep busy while he's putting her to bed and it does feel better now.  I know that in a couple of weeks I'll be able to rock her again at bedtime without nursing.  J

    ust remember that you are weaning her so you can give her a sibling.  I hope you start to feel better soon and good luck with the RE.

  • Thanks ladies...she went down tonight with no problems which just confirms the fact that I'm more attached to it than she is.  I know she's going to be fine and that makes it a little bit easier.
  • i cried every night for a week after i quit nursing.  i was surprised at how tough it was to quit.  DS didn't have a hard time at all.

    good luck w/plans for a second!  i have major baby fever right now!
