    The end of our bf journey.

    So many mixed emotions right now. Doesn't help that AF arrived today as well and am also feeling some flu symptoms coming on.

    DD and I enjoyed our last breastfeed this morning. I feel like I am mourning it to be honest. I knew the end has been coming for a while but knowing today was it is finally sinking in. She hasn't had a bf for the last 2 days but I wanted to really mark our last feed and make it a moment to treasure.

    As I sat down in a darkened room this morning on a cozy warm lounge, I lay my little girl in my arms and thought about all the wonderful moments that we have had on our journey...

    That first feed at hospital when mummy and baby were on our L plates and head no idea what we were doing.
    The moments of falling asleep with DD laying next to me feeding.
    When she needed comfort after a fall
    Having a bath together and her feeding.
    The time when I took her into a change room and I was trying on some new bras and when she saw my boobies she just had to have some milk.
    The feeling of nourishing her and how proud I am of my body.

    So many wonderful moments that will be treasured forever. I had a tear fall down from my eyes on to her cheek.

    I love my baby so much and know that we will have many more wonderful moments together.

    Thank you for reading.

    OMG Ali - you are making me cry again.. just when I thought I had myself together for the day!

    It is so beautiful what you have written. You should be so proud of what you have achieved. Your DD is beautiful and know she is thankful for what you have done for her.
