She was only having an evening feed and I'm not sure I actually had any milk - hasn't had boob for 3 days now and boob is still empty feeling. I am feeling quite 'hormonal' now, it might be a bit of PMT too. I was just wondering how long it takes for the hormones to settle back down again?

I felt quite sad and out of sorts for about a week.

My DD also stopped feeding at 13 months - think it was/is linked to me being pregnant. I still feel sorry about it from time to time (2 months later). Yesterday my NCT friends were here for coffee and their 2 are still feeding. I find that really hard. But then my hormones are probably all over the show with being pregnant so hopefully you won't have a two month hormonal roller coaster .
If you do find things a bit tough, it might be worth contacting one of the breastfeeding helplines. I spoke to the NCT one just after DD stopped as I feel really guilty about whether she chose to stop or was "made" to stop because of my pregnancy - they were great for talking it through.
