I am pretty proud, even though we were lucky enough to have few problems BFing...really just that he was a boob monster. The first...several...months he ate at least once an hour, for at least half an hour. I barely got a break at all. I couldn't even begin to picture a time when he wasn't physically attached to me... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/15-months#post-1211524 Tue, 12 Nov 2013 14:58:56 +0000 MoonMoon 1211524@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Awww, so bittersweet! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/15-months#post-1211492 Tue, 12 Nov 2013 14:47:32 +0000 Alivoo01 1211492@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Awwwwwwww!!!!! 15 months is an amazing time!

I have a go go go baby, at 6.5 months, and I really treasure her snuggles while nursing so I'm sure I'll feel the same way when the time comes... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/15-months#post-1211479 Tue, 12 Nov 2013 14:44:32 +0000 MrsStar 1211479@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Aww the part about your cuddles bought a tear to my eye! Well done for making it to 15 months - that is an awesome achievement! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/15-months#post-1211468 Tue, 12 Nov 2013 14:39:37 +0000 kiddosc 1211468@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Congrats for making it so far! And it's a great thing that he stopped on his own gradually, what an awesome way to end it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/15-months#post-1211454 Tue, 12 Nov 2013 14:34:37 +0000 Cherrybee 1211454@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Aaaw, well done. I'm sure he will still want to snuggle with mummy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/15-months#post-1211452 Tue, 12 Nov 2013 14:34:06 +0000 maybebaby 1211452@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This made me cry.

You've done an awesome job!!! And what a sweet last moment. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/15-months#post-1211421 Tue, 12 Nov 2013 14:28:39 +0000 lovehoneybee 1211421@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>And I think we're done breastfeeding. </p> <p>E has been sick, has had trouble nursing and barely nursed at all because he's been so congested, and hasn't even tried the last two days. We were down to 1 session a day (occasionally 2), and I don't pump. </p> <p>I'm so ambivalent about it. My long-term goal was only 12 months and I'm excited to have my body back for the first time in...almost exactly two years (fun side note: I got KU with him a week shy of two years ago!), but I wasn't ready to wean him yet. He's such a go-go-go toddler, and that last very early morning/very late at night session was really the only time he would lay and snuggle with me. </p> <p>Perhaps a sad coincidence, but my period came back (I think) this morning. </p> <p>I've known we were winding down and I've been trying to sear every session into my memory because it might be the last. The last good session we had was last Wednesday night. It was the first night that he was really sick, and one of the first times I felt completely helpless as a mama. I curled up with him on the futon in his room. When he finished nursing he snuggled in closer, pulled my arm over his chest, and when I shifted back so he could have a little bit of room he put his arm around my neck and pulled me back closer, then fell asleep. I stayed with him and let him sleep there, with my hand over his heart, for hours, even though I couldn't fall asleep. </p> <p>And now I'm going to cry. </p> <p>But yay I made my goal, and then some! </p>
