Tomorrow will be the last time I nurse my baby and I'm pretty sad about it. I know that we will bond in many other ways but right now this is such a special time for us.
Weaning is going great. Nothing has changed since the last time I posted. I'm still nursing Declan at nap time but that's it. I'm not even sure I have much milk left. I'm no longer leaking either
When I nursed him before his nap today it all hit me like a tonne of bricks. This is the 2nd last time I'll be doing this with my little boy. The flood gates opened and I cried with my baby in my arms. He had actaully fallen asleep in my arms (thank goodness) so he didn't see me all weepy.....I'm getting weepy again while I write this.
Is it just me who feels this way? I don't know why I have such an attachment to nursing? Maybe it's because it was so hard at first? Maybe it's because he needs me? I don't know? I do know that I'll always have fond memories of our nursing relationship. This was the time for just me and my baby. The world could have been ending but we were happy enjoying each other!
Hopefully I can hold it together tomorrow afternoon
