She turned 6 months last week and I was all teary thinking of how fast six months went..and how the next 6 will fly by, too. We had a rough start - and I entirely planned on FF while pregnant - so it totally shocked me when I started to love BFing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-only-place-where-i-can-talk-about#post-689908 Wed, 03 Apr 2013 22:26:56 +0000 erwoo 689908@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@T-Mom: Aw, thanks! I am also looking forward to having my life back and not have to worry about nursing. Well, I can't say worrying b/c it hasn't been hard with my second. I nurse everywhere and don't restrict myself to being home or have to nurse before I go out anymore. </p> <p>I am the same way about a third but we are done done done! I don't think our marriage can handle another child. LOL! Babies are quite stressful, especially when you have a jealous older brother! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-only-place-where-i-can-talk-about#post-689901 Wed, 03 Apr 2013 22:23:15 +0000 erwoo 689901@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@SleepyMonkey: Yeah, lots of pros and cons, huh? It'll be bittersweet the day I finally have our last nursing session. It's coming near. I've been weaning off a feeding once every two weeks. With my first I did it week by week. As you can tell, I'm dreading it still. :) But, yes, can't wait to go buy new bras as my nursing bras are all yuck. But not looking forward to having to possibly buy a size smaller??? Hopefully I won't have to? :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-only-place-where-i-can-talk-about#post-678788 Sat, 30 Mar 2013 08:02:22 +0000 T-Mom 678788@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Aw, I know how you feel! I was disappointed that DS didn't want to nurse any longer at 13 mo since I had not gotten very far with DD and was prepared to nurse him for as long as possible. But he really told me in his own way that he was ready to move on. Knowing that he is the last makes every milestone really bittersweet, actually. So much that we sometimes talk about another one and then realize it would just be too much for us. I'm trying to channel my sadness into looking forward to all the fun things that will get easier as the kids grow up, like travel. And just being grateful for 2 great kiddos.. Hugs to you, I feel ya! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-only-place-where-i-can-talk-about#post-678769 Sat, 30 Mar 2013 07:42:09 +0000 SleepyMonkey 678769@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i haven't gone thru this yet, but i know i will be sad when my LO weans! i didn't ever think i'd say that when we were a month into breastfeeding, but now i really cherish our nursing sessions together because we have fewer of them since i've returned to work. and its SO EASY now. </p> <p>but on some level, it will be nice to have my body back to myself. not having to wear nursing pads, not wake up engorged every morning, and not having to wear ugly nursing bras, being able to sleep on my tummy, being able to eat/drink whatever i want, going back on normal birth control...there are a lot of things i miss. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-only-place-where-i-can-talk-about#post-678599 Fri, 29 Mar 2013 23:34:35 +0000 erwoo 678599@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>my LO biting my nipples while nursing! My LO turned 1 yesterday. Yay! But then he started cutting his fourth tooth this week and he has bitten me in the past but not with all four teeth and tonight it hurt! I shrieked with pain and I think it scared him b/c I made him cry. My heart broke. I felt so bad making him cry, especially b/c it was bed time and I'm down to two nursings a day now. </p> <p>I started weaning him off breast milk three weeks ago and it's been kind of hard on me. I think he'll be my last baby so I'm treasuring the nursing time more and more now. I get sad thinking about stopping but I know for my sanity I will need to. When he was first born I dreaded only being to go out for 1 hour at a time b/c he was eating every 2-3 hours. Today, I went out for 4 hours and came home and didn't have to nurse. The days of rushing home dropping everything as soon as I get home to unbutton/pull up or down my shirt are gone. I'm not looking at nursing tops constantly to find the most convenient one to wear anymore either. It's sad but I'm glad to sort of have my life back. I am going to miss nursing full-time and am going to miss the infant months. Nursing has brought a lot of great health and convenience (travelling) benefits for me with both of my boys. It'll be one experience I will hopefully never forget. Despite a rough start with my oldest, I'm thankful to have been able to successfully nurse both of my boys exclusively.</p> <p>Did anyone feel this way when you were weaning? I didn't with my first but b/c I know he may be our last I am more emotional about it. </p>
