Weaning and sad

  I weaned but then continued pumping twice a day. That only lasted two weeks and then I dried up, at that point I was a little sad....probably just for a few days and then I was over it. I was ready to be done with the pump...I do however miss the closeness of BFing sometimes. But only sometimes. For me life is a little easier now.
  Hang in there. It's most definitely a hormonal roller coaster and I hope it gets better for you soon

  I just cut out a pumping session this week in order to start the weaning process, its definitely bittersweet for me.  I hope to be able to keep enough supply to nurse morning/night but not pump, but who knows.  I got emotional nursing a couple of times this week thinking about being close to the end.  The thought of getting rid of that GD pump is fantastic though!

  It was a week or two for me to be okay and lose the guilt. I was barely producing anything at that point. He preferred the bottle waaaaay more due to that

  Thanks everyone! @kravenmoore, same scenario here. Hoping I won't feel so guilty and disconnected for too long.

  I am going through this right now.  After suffering with supply issues for far too long, I finally decided it's been enough.  She only wants to nurse morning and night, she prefers the bottle any other time.  I started weaning down my pumps last week.  For me, seeing less and less in the bottle after pumping is a little sad.  I'm with you on the emotional roller coaster right now.  I hope it will fade with time.  I keep telling myself we are almost at 7 months so it was a good run.  And I will be soooo happy to hide my pump far far away!!
