DD is 19 months. We stopped BFing a month ago and I have to say that on the whole, I really enjoyed feeding, but I do wonder if it contributed to me being more PFB than I would've been if I hadn't have BF. She was a bottle refuser until she was about 9 months which I found hugely stressful and meant that leaving her was difficult.
Between 12-18 months it was more or less only the one feed at bedtime and I didn't mind that.
I know I can be negative sometimes, and I definitely overthink things so I wonder if some of the restrictions that come with BF made me more uptight.
Things like - wearing a dress, drinking alcohol, going out only after DD had had her bedtime feed, DD staying over at grandparents, not wanting DH to touch my boobs during hanky panky (just felt weird) --that's even if I could bare to get jiggy with it, totally lost my sex drive... but it's back now!, going out more in general etc etc
Just recently I've felt more "free". And I guess I'm wondering whether that's because DD is more independent due to age, or whether BFing played a part?
Anyway, I'm rambling now... Anyone else had similar thoughts?
