End of breastfeeding

I think I just need a hand hold please. I've exclusively breastfed my DC2 for 19 months and tonight is the night we have stopped. I know its a grieving process and developmentally they are ready for it. But I am wrapped with guilt as they are crying upstairs while DH puts them to sleep. It's the end of a beautiful journey but DH said it was time 6 months ago. Just some kind words would be really appreciated. I'm very grateful for the opportunity to feed them for this long that some dont get, just sad at the ending of it.

I get that. My DP is making a lot of noises about sleep training for the same reason!

That was to @Cgfd3234

I'm sorry you're going through this. My milk was there one morning and gone by the evening. I have a thread about how upset we both were. I wasn't looking to stop and thankfully it came back but it was bloody awful for a while. Be kind to yourself. The hormone drop can be brutal.

Thank you for the words of kindness. We were down to one feed a day as I was bringing the feeds down by one feed every couple of weeks so hopefully the hormone drop went hugely impact me. And I was gradually tapering off so it wouldn’t be a shock to her system as well. I just didn’t think it would stop at that very moment. 😅 anyways I will try to be kind to myself if I start feeling a tad moody regardless. I did not even consider hormone fluctuations honestly.
