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...
Re: Last night nursing DD
It is absolutely bittersweet. Your little girl is growing up
Good luck at the RE friday!
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.
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!
