The end of breastfeeding Tyler

Jan 09, 2012 11:21

When I was pregnant with Tyler, I didn't really know what my goals were as far as breastfeeding. I've become much more educated about it since Tyler was born. I knew I wanted to try, I wanted to breastfeed Tyler. We had a rocky start. My milk was slow to come in, which wasn't a problem for us. But at about day 6 when my milk came in, my ( Read more... )

It's great that you had such a great memory the last time you nursed Tyler! I, too, started out wanting to try nursing and nursed Addison until she was 17.5 months!

I'm so happy that we had a "special" moment as our last time, not a typical "nurse for a couple minutes just to fall asleep" one. Made it stick in my memory.

Oh what a beautiful nursing relationship!!!! I love the story of his last nurse. Nursing is such a wonderful part of a mother-child bonding experience. So happy for you and Tyler that it went smoothly and ended beautifully. And you get to do it again. :)

I wish I had done it right the first time - but at least I did the second time... I am hoping for a beautiful finish like yours.

We have had such a wonderful time of it. I really am proud of what we've accomplished and how it wrapped up in the end. I actually waited 2 months before writing this just incase it wasn't quite the last one.

Thank you, and I really hope you get the ending you want, too!

...now if I can just remember how to breastfeed a newborn!

My goal is to nurse Caleb for 1 year...we're almost there! Not sure what will happen after that. I never knew you had such a rocky start with Tyler. A lot of people would have given up right then and there! By the time I saw you in Sept, you were a pro :o)

I never really knew where I saw it ending, I knew so little about breastfeeding when we started. I think the education and experience really made me want to let Tyler end it on his own terms, but that wasn't how I felt about it in the beginning. I remember when Chris and I would talk about BFing while I was pregnant he'd say not after 1 year. Then when that rolled around, we just couldn't envision weaning. It was too soon ( ... )
