My little man and I were down to one breastfeed a day and the other night when I got up to him I thought I'd give him a BF to help settle him. He had a little drink but then just laid there in my arms snuggling into me and staring up at me. He wasn't at all interested in having a drink but was content to just look at me. He gave me a little smile, had one more little suck, then looked at me with a cheeky grin, patted my boob and snuggled into me again. I like to think that he was saying thanks for that mumma, it's been wonderful.
That was on Friday night. I didn't even offer him a BF yesterday and he didn't "ask" either. This morning we had a shower together and, in the past, he would take the opportunity to help himself but he showed no interest at all.
My initial goal was to make it to 6 months and I'm proud of the both of us for coming this far. We've had ups and downs, but the memories will last a lifetime!!
What a beautiful journey the two of you have shared. Congratulations and well done on your amazing achievement Bittersweet to be done but here's to the next stage in DS journey
