We have officially weaned =(

After more than 13 months of nursing, we are done. He was less interested and I was starting to have nipple sensitivity. I am sad, but I am proud of myself. I never wanted to BF, had major issues for the first 3 months, (latch issues, overactive letdown, gas etc.) I was able to make it through hellish m/s for 16 wks, and keep my supply up when it dwindled at 8 wks. here I am after 13 months. I am sad, but excited to have a few months before I start again. 

It makes me more sad that DS is getting older!  

Thanks for letting me vent

    What an accomplishment making it to 13 months!! Give yourself a much needed break before you start up again in June :-)

    This sounds terrible, but I have been counting down the months to 1 year, which is my breastfeeding goal, now that it is just around the corner I have a feeling that I'm going to be sad!  So I understand where you are coming from.

    I could have written this post!  I too, weaned DD at 13 months.  I was about 5 months pg at the time (this was just a few weeks ago).  It was so hard and I was devestated but had to do it because I was starting to get agitated every time we BF'd because DD was crawling all over me, grabbing at me, etc. and it was just too hard to keep laying her across my lap with my big belly!  I also wanted to be "fresh" when DS is born and be able to BF him for a year and not get sick of it and I didn't know if I could just keep going with DD and be BFing for 2 1/2 year straight.  I also had issues with DD for the first couple months of BFing.

    Congrats on making it to 13 months, it's a HUGE accomplishment!

    13 months is amazing. My DD is kind of self weaning, she didn't want to BF before bed tonight, and wanted a bottle instead. It's kind of sad, and its hard to explain to DH - I just wish we could have made it longer. But I remind myself that making it this far is an accomplishment. For you to have gone past a year is even more of an accomplishment! Good for you!

    My DD weaned right around the same timeframe (both her age and my gestation.) I am sad she's done, but also kinda glad because I'm not sure how comfortable it would be with my now huge belly. I secretly wish she starts up again once the milk starts flowing.

    Congrats!  It is a little sad.  We weaned at 13 months, too.  I thought the first 8 weeks of BFing were my biggest struggle, but that was before I nursed w/major nipple tenderness while pregnant.  Ouch!  We just got through that, and DD decided she was done.  I was about 11 weeks pregnant.  I'm sure my supply and maybe the flavor affected DD.  But, she mostly didn't want to sit still anymore after learning how to walk.

    Congratulations-- seriously, you should be very proud.  13m is a lot more than most LOs get.  I am down to 1 feeding a day and gave up around that 8w supply dip.  It was very emotional, mostly due to the hormones, but also b/c I never planned on weaning (or being pg!) so early.  DD is totally fine though and hasn't skipped a beat.
