Breastfeeding

Feeling so sad today

Well, I'm officially done BF.  And I will never again have that experience (DD is our first and last). I hated BF in the beginning, tolerated it through much of the last 10 months and now I am mourning the loss.  It doesn't make a whole lot of sense - but I think I did enjoy it more than I was willing to admit.  In between the sore nipples, leaking, biting, etc...I really felt connected to DD and I especially have enjoyed the last couple months when we just had morning and evening feedings.  It was just enough without feeling overwhelming.  But DD has decided she's done - and I think I need to just follow her lead.  And although part of me is relieved...I'm feeling super sad.

Thanks for letting me vent - DH doesn't really understand.

  • i understand (as much as i can!) because lo and i were both struggling a LOT with bfing when he was about 5 weeks and i cried so much because i felt like my connection with him was gone. it was a terrible feeling. BUT 10 months is great and your dd is very lucky to have such a great mama.
