Lovelies,
The baby is weaned. He was weaned right before 15 months like we’d hoped. It was mostly smooth, a few rocky days of crying and wanting his morning feed, but overall that’s pretty good. I almost gave in/up. But then, miraculously, the next day he stopped asking. The first two days of zero feeds was very uncomfortable- my breasts swelled and ached and I wanted SO BADLY to just make it stop. I wanted so badly to just nurse my child… But I persisted. It was hard but now we’re done. Also, holy hormones, Batman! I was a weepy, emotional mess for the whole first week sans breastfeeding. The post weaning hormones are no joke. If you’re going through them be gentle on yourself. It’s a big shift. It doesn’t last forever.
XOXXO,
The Chicken
Micro Post: Weaning Hormones
There are a couple of us going through this right now. The hormones are the worst. It is super hard and emotions. Thanks for reminding me I’m not alone.
Charlotte,
It’s around that time isn’t it? You are not alone. Hoping you feel better about it soon!
