    Unhappy One feed left.... :(

    The end is nigh... I was hoping for 2 years but DD is self weaning, since coming home from hospital the other day she had blatantly refused her evening BF, she hasn't had a middle of the day bf for a couple of months now, she will then drink about 50ml of milk from a bottle or sippy cup then go to bed.

    We are left with just the morning feed, which I feel will be gone soon too.

    I know I don't have much milk left, they feel very flat and empty, and I knew that this was probably going to happen after weaning off the Motilium, but I am now at peace and she will choose when she finishes.

    It is sad to be at the end of a journey that was so hard to achieve, but I will take each feed as it comes as if it is the last so that I will not feel so lost when it is all over.

    Big hugs to you . You have done an amazing job BFing your little one!

    We are experiencing weaning at the moment too. Our last feed was on Tuesday morning and I think it's all over . I have shed many tears about it, but at the same time I'm happy he made the decision (albeit earlier than I wanted or expected).

    Take care and good luck for the next stage of the journey

    Your attitude is great. It is wonderful that your little one is choosing her own time and well done on coming so far.

    Beema, I'm so proud of you! My DS weaned himself exactly the same way, we were left with the morning feeds and by 14.5 months he was done. Like yourself, I was pleased that he got to self-wean after all the effort we went through to continue BF'ing.

    Well done chick! xox

    Well done on bfing beyond 12 months hun. That's great work.

    This might not be the end just yet for you - my DS2 went for months with just the morning feed (and a short one at that). I felt very empty too, but there was certainly milk there. Whatever happens, good on you hun and I'm sending you lots of hugs

    Thankyou all for your messages, I haven't actually cried about it yet, probably will when it is all over, I was really enjoying our little snuggles and feed this morning, hope there are a few more to go
