I am broken

[noon_child]

Well after 2years and 4months LO has stopped breastfeeding because (in her words) my boobs are "broken".

It was the right time, I was ready to have my body back, we still have cuddles and I'm so glad it wasn't traumatic for her...but I'm a bit sad. She looked like she was still a baby when she was nursing but now she has stopped I can't kid myself that she isn't a child now.

Also I was rather starting to enjoy the possibility of offending and shocking people by saying "Yes, I am still breastfeeding!".

Aww that must be so bittersweet But congratulations on making it so long!

congrats on making it for so long. That is a great achievement.

But I think it's normal to feel a little sad when our babies grow up. I was already so sad when my girl outgrew the skin-to-skin time and I can't imagine how hard it will be when breastfeeding will be over.

Awww hun massive massive you have done so amazing mamma!!!

Bless your LO too, they do unfortunately have to grow up, my older children are 14 and 13 and I can't quite believe it. Enjoy every moment of this new chapter without BF even though I know it is sad it's exciting to watch them grow at the same time.

Awww... I understand the feeling of sadness, but it IS great that she herself decided it was time...

Well done to you though.. 2 years and 4 months.. great job!
