Tonight is the last time I'll EVER breastfeed!

That's it! It's over. The DTs are 17 months, I'm off on a salsa weekend and when I come back it is over!

I thought I'd feel sad, but actually I'm kinda glad. I've given 6 years to breastfeeding. I think my boobs deserve a rest.

Also I want to throw away ALL my nursing bras and buy lovely pretty bras again. I can't wait for my breasts to shrink a little (please Lord let them shrink). I want to buy tops that fit ALL of me.

So, fair well, goodbye, see ya! MarsLady reclaims her boobs. YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good on yer, good to hear you are so positive about it there again after 6 years and twins I think I would be too.

MarsLady · 23/06/2005 22:54

Watcha frogspawn. Good to have you and the lovely lockets back!

Marsy - I must say I felt exactly the same when I stopped bfing ds2 in April aged 15mths. Not even slightly sad. Wonderful to be down a cup size!

dinny · 23/06/2005 22:58

well done for feeding two for so long, Mars! enjoy bra shopping!

Aero · 23/06/2005 22:58

Oh and I got me a lovely new underwired bra to celebrate - first one of those for about 2 years!

wheresmyfroggy · 23/06/2005 22:58

Lockets has just piped up 'OOOOH Rigby Peller bra!!!' so i assume they are good then

it's good to be back mars have we missed anything?

How the devil are you?

MarsLady · 23/06/2005 23:06

you haven't missed much. Lots of "kicking off", quite a few births, not enough laughs.

Maybe the laughs will return now that you have!

Thank you Dinny

Rigby & Peller are great as they always give you a small back/large cup measurement. v flattering.... measured me 30DD when everywhere else I was 34B... Honestly!

Have a wonderful time on the salsa weekend! What will you do if they don't want to stop? Go away for a fortnight somewhere beautiful? Can I come too?!

PS - six years and feeding twins - I'd have a lie down, not a salsa weekend - can I have some of your energy please?!

MarsLady · 23/06/2005 23:55

I'm an evil wicked mother. If they don't want to stop then tough for them lol. Once I get up in the morning the breastfeeding is OVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Twins! For that long! My head is rfeeling! How often are (sorry, were)they feeding by this age then?

MarsLady · 24/06/2005 00:05
