I think we're done...

So, we made it to 14.5 months of breastfeeding. Much longer than I even hoped . I have been down to one time a day after dinner for about two months and for a while I just thought I could continue that until next spring (after sick season). But, the girls seems less interested and actually went a whole day and night without nursing the other day and did fine.

I am a little sadder than I thought I would be- maybe because I know they're my last. I'm ready to have my body back but will miss that sweet moment in the evening.

To all you moms just starting out- it does get easier! Hang in there!

You rock!!! Great advice as well!! It does get easier and well worth the effort! Great job hanging in there yourself!

 

I am with you!! I just finished nursing a month or so ago...we too made it to 14months (my goal was 6months). I was down to 2x/day, then within 2wks, they were just nursing in the morning...then I just gave in. They seemed so interested in the bottle and I didn't want to hold back if they were done...I felt I should follow their lead...they wanted to be big boys, so instead of having to wean them off of me...I had to wean myself off of them. It hit me a few days later that we were done...and it was bittersweet. I do love having my body back, but wondering whose body this is?? I have never been so flabby! My chest is so floppy. I do miss the nice quiet moments with them...but I am thrilled we made it as long as we did. I am also glad I have finally dried up, I was uncomfortable for a couple of weeks. But I am back to normal (well, the new normal)...and finally went shopping for a new bra for this new body...it was a nice treat!

Great Job! Go treat yourself!

What a great post!
I have 1 who seems to be weaning herself. She fights it and even when she does feed it's minimal. The other is still on 2-3 bf a day. (one through the night.)
Even though I'm still feeding her sister I do feel sad that T2 seems to be finishing. I think that I too need to wean myself lol!
In some ways it would be great to finish all together with both girls as I could go away for a few days in JAnuary with dd6) but the twins are definbately the last babies and I don't think I will cope when the day comes. :cry:

I love the bit about having your body back but not knowing whose body it was! Twins aren't kind to one's body!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Congratulations!! Job well done. I think weaning, no matter how or when, is a bittersweet time. :hug:

 

My thoughts exactly!!!!!!

(ESpecially when their your last!!!!

 

I am with you... these are our last babies and I am in no way looking forward to our nursing times to end, but sometimes I would like to have my boobs in my bra all day long!!
