Goodbye breastfeeding, goodbye my friend…
I have finally done it. I have given Wriggly that last taste of breastmilk.
She has had her last feed. To be honest, I doubt there was much milk left for her to enjoy, but there you go. She is 19 months old and until a few weeks ago, she was showing no signs of giving up those night feeds. She would even attempt squeezing in a feed or two during the day.
I loved breastfeeding my babies but by the time she had her last feed, I was ready. Wriggly was not as willing to stop as I was but such is life. The fact of the matter is I think the milk had gone and she was suckling for comfort more than anything else.
As I was giving Wriggly that very last feed just over a week ago, I knew it would be my last time nursing my baby. She still loves to cuddle in the middle of the night, head between my breasts, seeking comfort and reassurance. She can have that.
Goodbye breastfeeding, goodbye my friend…
Moving from breast to bottle has been a rocky road for Wriggly and I, as I wrote before. Because she was drinking so little formula until recently, I would get the smallest and cheapest ready-made cartons I could get, no matter which brand they were. Each carton would last a couple of days.
In the past four or five weeks, Wriggly has had one bottle just before bed as well as a bottle in the middle of the night most nights. Over the last week, she has also had a bottle just before her nap.
Can you tell Wriggly is enjoying her afternoon bottle?
Aren’t sleeping babies the most gorgeous sight?

rien que de lire ça me met les larmes aux yeux… le sevrage a été bien plus dur pour Marine que pour les deux autres….ça doit être parce que c’est la petite dernière…; la 1ère boite de lait que j’ai acheté m’a donné les larmes aux yeux quand je l’ai regardé posée sur l’étagère dans la cuisine!!!! Je l’allaitais encore le matin et le soir (via le tire lait) mais le mois dernier Marine a décidé de ne plus vouloir têter…. alors j’ai dû enfin couper ce petit cordon qui restait, mon bébé ne voulait plus de moi…. snif snif… Ce matin je lui ai donné le dernier pot qui restait au congélo, bye bye le lait de maman.
J’ai trouvé ça très dur tout le corps médical s’en fiche du sevrage alors que j’ai trouvé que c’était un étape à chaque fois difficile encore plus pour Marine, tout le monde te dit : “tu n’as qu’à tirer ton lait!”, je voudrais les y voir moi!!!!!
Cette semaine Marine a 6 mois finalement je l’ai allaité peu par rapport aux autres témoignages….
Oh ma belle, tu me mets une boule au ventre… La fin de l’allaitement est difficile pour une maman, surtout quand on comptait continuer un peu plus longtemps. J’ai eu beaucoup de mal avec Wriggly. Savoir que c’est ton dernier bébé rend les choses encore plus difficiles.
6 mois pour la puce… oh la la, le temps pase trop vite! J’ai l’impression qu’elle est née il y a quelques semaines!
