Extended feeding- we're you sad when it ended?

[quirkyquerty]

I didn't intend to feed for this long, it was just convenience in the end and comfort too- my DS is 2 and he feeds at night only now or if he is poorly.

I'm ready to stop now, but I do feel strangely sad about it. This will likely be my last child, and I've been feeding different children for the last five years without a break, which sounds bonkers, but it has been such a big part of life and 'my job' for so long, I feel sad that that is over.

Did anyone else feel like this?

Yes, I did feel sad. But I also wanted my body back.

I felt very sad and it was my first so I can't imagine how emotional you must be feeling ! I got dh to photograph me feeding ds for the last ever time and I'd recommend it. It's a special photo that takes me back to that moment whenever I wish. Good luck

I fed my daughter for 21 months and I was DONE. It was a relief! I'd been ready to stop since she was 12 months old... I did have quite bad aversion at times and she was an awful sleeper which is probably why.
I know there's often a hormonal shift which can sometimes make women feel low when they stop, but I never experienced it.
