I'm pretty sure our breast feeding journey is over for now
Last night i didnt offer and he didnt ask and he was more than happy with a cuddle before bed. This morning he asked (well his way of asking is to stick his hand down my top and try to put my breast out lol) so i got it out and he smiled at it and giggled and gave it a little pat then kissed it and that was all. I guess he was just checking that it was still there.
We had some friends over today and 2 of them are breastfeeding. Byron was watching them feed and i asked if he wanted some and he flat out refused.
Oh well, i am happy that it was his choice but a part of me is also feeling like its my fault too. Mainly because i'm pregnant and i'm pretty sure that if i wasnt, he would still be feeding.
Its also hard to go from 3 feeds per day to absolutely nothing just like that iykwim? I kind of expected weaning to be a slower process of dropping a feed then another etc etc - a bit more gradual and not so sudden.
If he wants to feed when the new baby arrives i am more than happy to accomodate his wants. At this time though i'm just going to follow his lead and not offer unless he asks as its sad to see him refuse me.
We always joked that the new baby would end up on formula because he loved his boobies so much and wouldnt be willing to share
THank you so much for all your support and suggestion, i never thought that weaning would be so emotional . Thank you also so listening to my rants, its been so lovely to have you kind of hold my hand through my tears
