So my beautiful boys are exactly 11 months old today. About a month ago I noticed that they're not as interested in BFing anymore - crawling, playing, the tv, toys are all much more interesting! They may suckle for about 5 mins (or 5 secs!) and then they're squirming to get down off my lap. I've held on thinking its a phase and they'll want booby again for a month now, but its not happening, so today I officially stopped BF :cry:

I gave them their last feed, together, then seperately, took some pics and I have officially closed down the "Milk Bar" (my hubby's phrasing, not mine). Feel relieved and sad all at the same time. I was never sure I'd be able to BF the twins, but I promised myself I'd try and I think I have done brillliantly, considering how hellish the first month was and I should be happy I've done it this long and I can finally have my boobs back, but it kind of feels like it's admitting they are now longer babies anymore but on their way to toddlerhood - I waaaant my babies baaaaaaaaaccckkk!!!:cry:

Rant over :blush:
 
Awwwwww :hugs: at least you made the last feed a memorable one
 
You did so amazing :) I'm in awe of twin mummies anyway, and especially those who BF. Well done!
 
Awww. You should be proud that you've given them a good start. Glad your babies are doing so well.
 
:hugs::hugs:
Well done for getting to 11 months and with twins, that's amazing!
 
Well done you! I often think how hard it must be bfing twins! You have done well to go this far x
 
I know how you feel, bur Harrison decided at 6.5 months. He still has the odd feed, but not too often. I keep expressing so that he can have my milk in his food.

You have done an amazing job thou to have done 11 months. I struggled with one, so I take my hat off to you :) well done xxx
 
Thank you ladies. You've made me feel a bit better. I think I'm taking it badly because as twins, they never really get alot of one on one time and I used BFing as having some quality time with each twin seperately. I loved being able to hav a nice cuddle with one twin at a time while feeding them. Ah well I'll have to find other ways now.
 
bless! well done you though! i think its incredible that you managed to feed for 11 months with twins! maybe story time with each one? either way, still, well done chetnaz :)
 
You've done well! Don't feel bad about it, I'd be proud as its not easy to breastfeed! Well done you. Xx
 
I think ur amazing for doing it for so long and with twins, I couldn't get the hang on it with only 1 lo :-( xx
 
Well done for getting so far. You should be so proud of yourself.

It's so hard when it comes to the end, but you've given them such a great start xx
 
Congrats ! What a great accomplishment!!! Mothers of twins amaze me and the fact that you nursed both.... To 11 months is INCREDIBLE!! I can't imagine it because my son seems to suck me dry at every feed, lol!!
