hi
Can anyone give me any support/advice... I have breastfed my son for the last 2 years 3mths.... it has got him through some terrible times...he has been a poorly child & without the boobie...god knows what would have happened.. I have loved evey minute of it!
Lately.. i have tried saying to him that we could have a cuddle rather than feed (as soon as i would like to try for another child)... it worked every now & then..but most of the time he would scream & scream so i gave it to him.. however.. last night..it hit me.. its been 2 days since he has fed...he asks..but seems happy to accept a cuddle instead now...oh my god.. I did cry!! it suddenly hit me.. that that was it, no more feeding him.. Is this normal!!?? surely I should be happy that he has had it for this long & now its the right time... I then started to feel guilty that maybe he isent ready... but i dont think he would have been happy for a cuddle instead if he wasent??
what a mixture of feelings i have... i feel silly feeling like this.. none of my family understand.. they just say.. you have fed him for so long.. just be happy. I feel upset too that the last feed i gave him.. I didnt actually know it was the LAST feed.. probaly for the best though...as would have probaly cried whole way through!
Im cryng now writing this message & wish I didnt feed like this... I do hope I feel better soon.. my boobs are full too & sore!
xxxxxxx
