Have finally given up b/feeding dd (22months). It wasn't as traumatic as I expected it was going to be . We had got down to a quick feed at bed time, followed by dummy and a cuddle. Last week I had to go to a conference, and was away Monday night. Got back at bedtime on Tuesday, and she didn't want a feed- asked for the beaker of milk that dh had been giving her. So I thought, now's my chance, and on Wednesday, told her that Mummy's milk had "all gone", not far from the truth! She cried for all of 10 seconds, then took the dummy and went off to sleep as usual. Cried for 2 seconds on Thursday night , not at all since.
I've had no problems with engorgement, though feel a little tender up front!
Feel a little sad, keep wondering how much longer she would have gone spontaneously, and know that there won't be any more .
Would like to thank all you MNers who've given me advice over the last 2 years, especially mears, honestly couldn't have done it without you!
On a lighter note, before I burst into tears, how long before I can go and get myself measured up for some new bras? Am currently inhabiting my pregnancy extra support sport bras, but feel the need for something flimsy and rather more attractive!
