Is this the end... help me prepare for the end of this emotional BF rollercoaster?

[*Beema*]

So DD is now 13 1/2 months and is STILL BF'ing

I have sucessfully weaned off the Motilium, and managing a full morning feed and a feed in the evening, followed by a bit extra milk as DD is demanding more but there isn't enough there.

I love that we are still going and I hope that it is DD who choses when she wants to wean, not my supply.

I love our morning feed, it is just a real special time for us, and a lovely way to wake up.

We are almost at our next BF'ing goal of 12 months corrected, and I know we will romp that one in easily. Following that I am aiming for 2 years - as per WHO, DH is fully supportive and is very proud.

Everyday I am reminded who far we have both come in this BF'ing challenge, through ALL the ups and downs, and countless times when you just want to give up, in the end it has been worth every second.
Thankyou for all of your support

So lovely to read - what an inspiration. It makes you feel all gooey inside doesn't it!

These little people do go off feeding from time to time due to various reasons - they are very hard times indeed.

I hope to join you soon at that 12 months mark - surprising myself too!!

Congratulations to you both!

Congrats Beema, great stuff!!!

Totally understand the worries you have about supply, but, in the short term, if you offer the breast lots during the day as well, you'll find that your supply will soon be rocking! If you have the opportunity to offer a few more feeds over 24 hours for a week or so, I think you'll be surprised at how much milk your body can produce . It doesn't matter if they're only quick feeds, it's just triggering the let down, and removing whatever milk is there, that will help.

Even if you're not keen on that, I'm sure that keeping on the way you are will be fine . Enjoy!!!
