a hug for you AS... I weaned my son a little over a week ago and after I put him to bed I burst out sobbing- had no idea it would hit me that hard. I know what you mean.

Aww.
I had to wean DD3 shortly after finding out I was pregnant. It still makes me cry! I miss nursing her, especially at night. She was doing really well at first, but the past couple weeks she has been asking for her "nay nays." And she twiddles everyone. The twiddling is funny/annoying/embarrassing all in one. I'm looking into tandem nursing her and the new baby, though.April 2005 March 2007 October 2009 June 2011

What a sad post. It's absolutely amazing that you were tandem nursing! I never made it passed that nursing strike with B. I wish I could go back and do things differently. I still remember him peacefully nursing and that was one of the best experiences in life! When he went on nursing strike is had never heard of that and it was a very hard time for us both.
I so look up to you all who EBF long term and like I said, tandem is absolutely amazing to me! I'm sorry it's almost over for Tate:-(
(((HUGS)))

What is tandem nursing? Nursing while pg?
I felt sort of relieved when I weaned off my DDs. I never liked nursing, I did it only bcos I knew that was the best for my babies. I BFed them on demand during first 3 months and then I started some schedule to make it easier for me ( except during the night) I was co-sleeping w/dd1 for 3 years and w/dd2 6 months.m/c 2001

ZB, I gather that tandem nursing is nursing 2 children at the same time. She was nursing DS#3 then through her pregnancy with DS#4.
I'm super emotional about nursing my babies too. I nursed all of my children well over a year with DS#1 nursed until 2 years. My friends and family think I'm crazy for nursing so long but it's so special and I miss it. I did get into night nursing and sleeping with my children which made sleeping difficult and I'm glad to have our bed mostly back to ourselves, but you just can't get that special time back with your kids. Nursing is such a special blessing! Nothing against mothers who choose not to nurse or are unable, I just personally love it and if I get pregnant again, who knows how long it will be before Mommy can stop.

I was the same way for my first. I cried... DS1 didnt suck properly, nor did he have the interest to latch on So I pumped faithfully. Due to lack of milk supply I cried at 6weeks when I dried up (cried for days!!!!). DS2 I knew what to expect so it wasnt as bad when I had to switch him over to formula.
Hello, Atomic hopefully you will see this! It has definitely been a while. I am not TTC, my cycles have been MIA for over a year, I'm quite certain. I have not been charting but haven't had it....
Not sure where to ask not TTC
