So it would appear that my breast feeding career is ending/ ended  :'( :'( :'( Little Man only BF at wake-up and BT since about 12months. He takes water from an open cup the rest of the time during the day. I decided to try "don't offer, don't refuse" and see how he felt about it....he hasn't REALLY looked for a BF  :'(. He LOVES the milk machines  ::) - would put his hand down my top when tired/ seeking comfort (not looking for a BF, just I'm like his human lovey  :-* ) I'm happy that HE's ok with stopping BFing - obviously.  It's the main reason that I decided to try the " no offer...."  I was afraid that he would become too aware as time went on & then, at whatever point I did wean him, it'd be very upsetting for both of us. Instead, it would appear that it's just upsetting for me  :'(
I have THOROUGHLY loved BFing my children - & am thrilled that I could BF my Little Man for this long. Xx.
BFing is simply the best.

Big hugs! It's one of those first steps of growing up, isn't it? Harder for mama to let go than for the baby who just wants to be a big boy.
