Comments on Wonder Mom: All Gone

I found this from another blog and there are tears in my eyes. I breastfed my DD for a 2 months and stopped when the pain became so unbearable I was watching her sleep and winching knowing she'd wake up and want feeding. The guilt I felt was as bad as the physical pain in my breasts. Looking back, I probably wasn't doing it properly or else I had developed something. Everytime she latched on it was like a red hot needle going through me. Breast feeding in Ireland is still a little "shhh" if you know what I mean. You are a wonderful Mum. Can't wait to read the rest of your blog. Neasa in Ireland.

I just weaned Mary 2 months ago, also at 22 months, and was fine about it, but now I am bawling my eyes out. Thanks, Kris.

Ok, I am also 24 weeks pregnant, so hormones may also be to blame. Oh, if only I could capture those moments in my memory so that they never fade.

My 19 month old son quit cold turkey. It's nice to not have him tug at my shirt in public any more and say "eat, eat" but another part of me is sad it's over. Love your post!

Thank you after a week of pumping 3x's a day while at work - this is just the encouragement I needed that it is worth it. I can't wait to get home and nurse my little one and treasure the moment!

This was a beautiful story. It made me so happy to still be nursing my daughter at nearly 13 months. Congrats on making it as long as you did and for sharing the real sadness that is sometimes associated with weaning.

My eyes are welling up now.
I'm nursing a wiggly 12 month old and wondering how much longer she'll be mine.

I'm crying now after reading this post. My daughter is 23 months and still nurses. Everyone tells me to stop and makes me feel terrible for still nursing, but I just can't do it. She tells me, "Thank you" sometimes when she's done. It breaks my heart to stop, but I know it's soon.

Sweet post. I nursed mine until the night before her third birthday. She remembers, but isn't interested anymore.

Good choice for a perfect post. I weaned my second born at 18 months. It was time, my supply was almost totally gone. I never felt let-downs and I could feel the difference in my breast size, but it was still something intensely emotional for me.

As a humorous aside, I was undressing in front of her the other day when she caught sight of my naked breasts. "Milkies!" she cried, delighted to see them again. And then she promptly stated "Want some!", opened her mouth wide and stuck out her tongue, like I was gonna squeeze out a spray for her to catch.

(But you know, it still makes me feel good that, 6 weeks post-weaning, she hasn't forgotten it...)

Wow, how beautiful. I was brought right back as well. Thanks, and congrats on your Perfect Post award!

This is such a beautiful post. I nursed both my girls, not nearly as long as you, and there is nothing like that experience.

Just lovely! You made me cry!

Delurking to congratulate you and tell you how wonderful this post of yours, is. Thanks for sharing.

Hugs,

Another bottle-feeding mommy.

I nursed my daughter, now 4.5, until she was just over 2 as well and now nursing my 15 month old son. I love your post - it's amazing how you could have been describing a moment between me and one of my children. What beautiful memories we have as mothers of special times we shared with our children.

That was beautiful. And it makes me wonder why I d...

2007-05-10T22:39:03.943-04:00

That was beautiful. And it makes me wonder why I didn't try harder to nurse my babies? I just gave up to soon.

2007-05-10T16:03:15.737-04:00

What a nice post! Weaning my children was so bittersweet for me. I still remember the last time I nursed both of them. Thanks for bringing back those memories for me!

2007-05-10T01:01:42.529-04:00

You know how I feel about nursing. I admire the ease with which it happened at that your heart didn't feel ripped out of your chest. But then you nursed THREE kids not two. That may have made it easier to wean this time.

Wow! Also...watch the weight fall off. I held onto 10 pounds while I was nursing Gabo - then it just fell off.

2007-05-09T21:44:46.933-04:00

You've actually made me miss breastfeeding. Now I want to savor those last few days of nursing my daughter before she finally weened herself.

Beautiful.

Oh wow. That was wonderful. I'm breastfeeding an extraordinarily hungry eight-week-old right now and you just made me appreciate the act again. Thank you. :)

What a great post - I loved it all. I went back and reread it, just because it was so sweet and cute.

Awww, sniff.

Aw Jeez.
From someone who couldn't breast feed- that was heartbreaking.

I am proud of you for doing what was in your heart. Good luck.
