The milk shoppe is closed.

My 1st day without nursing in more than 18 months.  :(  I am ready, but I feel more sad than I expected.  I will never nurse again as I am done having kids.  Alana has been weaning herself for the most part, but I am closing shop now because it feels like it is time.  Of course I keep 2nd guessing...

  • Wow, 18 months!  That's awesome, K!!  I'm sure it must be a lot of mixed emotions but yay for you going so long!  It sounds like Alana is ready -and you will be too, eventually.  ;)  {{{{HUGS}}}}  You're such a great mommy! 
  • 18 months is such a great milestone! You should be really proud of the gift you have given the two of you. I hope the proccess is easy for both of you in the days to come.
  • Thank you for your kind words that I read through foggy tears.  It really just hit me hard this evening. 
  • Yea its way hard....Huge hugs

  • *hugs* I was there a year ago and I feel your pain. 

    My guy started weaning himself at 18 months and was totally done at 20. IT was super hard, I found myself crying over it even thought I was proud of him for being able to nurse as long as he wanted.

    Big congrats and hugs to you!

    It'll get easier for sure, maybe not tomorrow, but it will.

  • I remember that feeling with Cam and it was so tough :( I remember hoping he had a harder time with it then I did Sad

    Big hugs, i know how tough it is !

  • You should feel super proud of yourself for making it as long as you did! Kyva just self-weaned away from our one remaining nursing session about a month ago and I wasn't expecting it to be as emotional as it was. Those weaning hormones are no joke. I felt like I was cutting her loose. But now you get to have your body back 100%...enjoy your freedom, you deserve to!

  • Hang in there!!  I am impressed you did it this long, great job!
  • Aww, big hugs to you.  I hope the transition goes smoothly for both of you.  It is tough enough weening but I bet it is even harder emotionally when you know you are done with breastfeeding for good...

  • awww huge hugs - its overwhelming feeling isnt it? Even the thought makes me feel sad. 
  • Congrats on 18 months!  Just think- you can wear WHATEVER shirt/dress you want and not have to think about access anymore.  That ROCKS!

  • I got profoundly depressed for a while when DD weaned herself at 8 months. A big part of it is hormonal, huge dip in those "feel good" happy mommy hormones. I'm sorry you are feeling down, I am super impressed you made it this long. Lucky Alana!!!
