Even worse, she screams and yells if I offer her my breast, like she hates even the idea of it. How did she go from one day nursing to sleep to just not caring anymore? Part of me says to fight, to pump and take mothers milk and get my supply up so that she will want to come back. Another part of me is tired and ready to be done. <br />You wrote as is my feelings are yours. <br />I'm pcos, mother of one live baby, 3 angel babies, and 2 adopted daughters. This is the only child I'll ever nurse and Lord help me it hurts to think its really done. Ugh, more ugly crying.Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13260717557328444175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9082238126439604111.post-61172294939811653792012-05-11T11:24:34.928-07:002012-05-11T11:24:34.928-07:00tears, I am totally in tears over this.

It is such an intimate thing, such a powerful love, but like you say, also something you do totally all by yourself because the baby will never remember and when they are done they are done.inBetweenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17212548401525577878noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9082238126439604111.post-60524477482165347412012-04-04T09:51:23.665-07:002012-04-04T09:51:23.665-07:00You have me crying too.

I had twins so I wasn't producing enough for both and it was one of the hardest, most emotional decisions ever. I miss those days already. I can only pray that I will have the chance to have another one some day and feel that bond again. I love the idea of being the only one able to provide that.Kandicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06386053746471510050noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9082238126439604111.post-14588398119137195772012-04-04T09:41:44.142-07:002012-04-04T09:41:44.142-07:00OH....this post made me cry.

And yes...nursing was so hard but so awesome at the same time. I do mourn the loss of that closeness that can only exist between mother and child. But so grateful I got to do it....so so grateful. <br />kdkdactylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02123983421783902463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9082238126439604111.post-25757650267006624102012-04-04T03:40:38.889-07:002012-04-04T03:40:38.889-07:00Weaning is so emotional!

She's moved on. And she's definitely not a baby anymore. *sigh* That's hard on mom.Nataliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16003334714597731355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9082238126439604111.post-72697973255835535222012-04-03T18:53:02.788-07:002012-04-03T18:53:02.788-07:00I cried too!

I'm in month 13 of nursing my second and my first weaned at 14 months and I felt the same.exact.way as you did (though I could not have put it that way). The first weeks are sooooo hard and then it is soooo easy and I have loved it. Thanks for putting it in such beautiful words. <br />Erin<br />PS: longtime reader/lurker with PCOS and 2 kids, no blog of my own--thanks for your blog!Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02675740948287438404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9082238126439604111.post-29886548331289846792012-04-03T17:35:44.126-07:002012-04-03T17:35:44.126-07:00You've got me crying too.

I did plan it all out and tried to savor every last moment. It was a little disappointing when she didn't seem to care one way or the other the next night. I think she was done before I was, too, but hey--as long as it's there!Monicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16593751475794211399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9082238126439604111.post-53550898513891636202012-04-03T14:57:00.163-07:002012-04-03T14:57:00.163-07:00So perfectly put!

And 3 days later when my ta-tas were swollen to the size of watermelons, she refused to help me out.<br /><br />What I hadn't considered was that it is really my experience alone.Amberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03777400850337711004noreply@blogger.com
