    Wow! 25½ months! I NEVER thought I'd be nursing them this long!!! Last night was our last session. I weaned them with 2 week intervals. Hopefully I won't be too uncomfortable because of this. Tonight is going to be hard not pulling out the pillow. They love that pillow! I tucked it away up in my closet for the next set!! lol I still have a hard time saying that! Who would have thought!! :) Just thought I'd share!

    Aww Jackie, I am sure it was bittersweet for you. I am so proud of you for breastfeeding them as long as you did. That is wonderful. I am just so excited for you on your new additions!! :yahoo:

    Didn't get the chance to comment on your other posts... AMAZING, two sets! Congratulations on weaning your 2-year-olds. You'll always remember the special time!!!

    I have a friend that weaned her twins by hiding the nursing pillow. Isn't that wild? Ever since they were born, she had used that pillow at every feeding. When they wanted to nurse, her twins would both go over, grab the pillow, and bring it to her. When the pillow was gone, neither twin thought about nursing or asked to nurse in any other way.

    Congrats. I know how bittersweet it can be as I nursed my son until 27 months. Way to go for keeping up so long.

    When I weaned my oldest, I was sad. But it wasn't too bad because I was pregnant with baby #2, and I knew that soon I'd be nursing another baby. How fun that you have all that, times 2. I'm at 21+ months with my girls and still going strong. Thanks for being such a great example!

    Jackie, I just wanted to tell you how impressed I am with what you have accomplished also. :Clap: I really wish I could have done what you did for my kids and I am amazed by it. Congratulations. I hope you are feeling well.

    :wub: thanks everyone! I couldn't have done it without this forum!! Everyone here deserves a huge round of applause!!! :clapping:
    I was comfortable for about 3 days. After that *OUCH*! I tried the tight sports bra.. that really didn't help and I did try taking one pill of sudafed in the evening right before bed. Three nights I was in agony but I can now say that I am feeling pretty good. Next time I'll remember where my car plug in is for my pump and will relieve some pressure when needed. Self-expressing just doesn't work for me! LOL thanks again everyone!

    25.5 months - that is amazing! You rock. :bow2:

    Hope you're past the worst of the engorgement, and that pregnancy isn't treating you too bad.
