Well 18 months and 6 days after it began my breast feeding story has come to an end. We've been down to 1 BF a day for the last number of months but I really enjoyed that special time with him every morning. I decided a month or so ago that I was going to keep going until he was 18 months and would then probably stop. He hadn't been asking for it for months and I'd continued probably more for me rather than him.

Well this week just as he turned 18 months he just seemed to stop wanting it. If I managed to get him to go on it was for no time atall. Its bittersweet as I would love to have been able to treasure my last feed rather than it being another one that he wasn't interested in but better that it be his decision when it was to end rather than mine. Thats they way it should be.

I know that there will be other ways for us to have our "special" relationship but I am shedding a little tear this evening as my little man takes yet another step in his amazing journey of growing up from a baby through toddler into little boy.
