Hand holding needed as I stop breastfeeding today...

[solo]

And I'm a little sad about it. I had a talk with Dd on Friday about making Saturday her last day and she asked why. I told her that she is a big girl now and that it was time. She agreed. I'm just not sure I really want to stop yet. It's gone on for more than 2 years past when I thought I would stop, so at 4.3 she has had a good innings with it I think. I honestly didn't think I'd go beyond two years as I felt it 'wasn't right' . Obviously, my view has changed now. She was only having it before bed every (most) day and sometimes at weekends it was mornings too. Sometimes she would go to bed without even thinking about it and I was taking the never offer, never refuse stance on it.
Is Mothers Day the right day to stop? if I go back on it now, will she never take me seriously again when I say we should stop now?

My Dd's father if he'd had 'his way' (his words!) said she should've been on a bottle at 6 months! good job it was none of his business then! and good job he's my ex too!

I'm going to roll with it kellytoys. I've no problem with her having it and she obviously still wants to feed, so...I shall continue.

Thanks for all the hand holding though, it was/is much appreciated :)

UPDATE.

Well, it appears that the milk is reducing in volume so I think the decision will not be mine or Dd's. I'm going to miss it. Dd is going to miss it too, but she's had a good long run.

Thought I would update.

Dd had her very last feed on 26th October 11, 2 months exactly before her 5th birthday. There was, finally, no more milk to be had Dd found, and after her final try, she has never brought the subject up since and has been fine, but seems increasingly amused by the sight of my breasts!

I was wondering if anyone else who had natural term after long term bf had found that after a couple of months post stopping bfing, that their breasts were big, heavy and sore. I have exceptionally sore nipples which extends to the inside. It feels almost like blocked ducts and I daren't try expressing to see if there is anything as they hurt like hell. Anyone else had this kind of thing?
