I loved bfeeding my two DDs and today I saw a mum bfeeding her baby in a cafe and it hit me like a brick that I'll never do that again and I felt so sad. Is that normal?
I fed my first for a year and my second for only 6 months, I wasn't ready to stop either time but circumstances were beyond my control and I still feel like I didn't do enough. I think maybe thats why I feel sad about it.
Anyway, we're not planning on having any more babies so thats it, no more bf for me . I miss that snuffly little face they make when they are tiny and want to latch on, I miss the little strokes and playing with my necklace. I miss being the only person in their world who can feed them and meet their needs. Now that I've written that it sounds pretty selfish actually. I do miss it though.
My eldest now pretends to bfeed her toys and its so cute. I guess I knew the day would come but I didn't expect to feel so sad.
