Emotional about stopping bf

[LittleMilla]

I have just finished feeding my 8mo DS. I had wanted to cut it down to just morning and evening, but I think that this obviously depleted my supply too much and he wasn't interested. He was becoming such a PIA to feed I do know it's the right thing to do, but I feel rather bereft to be honest, and just wondered if anyone has any helpful tips?

My main role has suddenly gone and I feel slightly lost. DH has also been off work for last 5 weeks (and we still have another 1.5) as he's starting a new job. I just feel like now DS doesn't want me and prefers DH.

Argh, slight crisis of confidence! Help!

Congratulations, your ds has had 8 months of breast milk, that is brilliant .

Do you see where I'm going with this -celebrate the passing of a milestone and on to the next stage.

I bet he still loves you, your his mum, its just the novelty of your dh being around more.

It's a huge change, and remember that your hormones are readjusting too, so you're bound to feel out of sorts for a few weeks. I think when you're bfing sometimes that can take over a bit and it becomes the main way you interact with your baby. Now that that's finishing it's time to discover new ways to connect with him. It'll take time but you'll be fine don't worry.

Thank you both for your relpies ladies.

He's being reeeeeally tricky at the mo (about to post in behaviour/development) which is exacerbating my feelings. Ho-hum "this too shall pass" and all that.
