@vl32 I was only feeding 1x per day at bedtime when we recently weaned (son is almost 2.5 y/o). I haven't noticed anything except my boobs are less full looking (bummer). I'm also 14 weeks pregnant, though.
@vl32 We’re planning to start trying for baby 2 when our son gets to around 18-20 months. I’ll nurse through the whole pregnancy (please gods, let my milk stay!) and then continue with tandem nursing until he’s ready to be done….and repeat for 2-3 more kids, so I’ll probably be breastfeeding for the next 10 years, roughly, if all goes to plan. I have loved breastfeeding with my first precious little one so far, so I’ll probably be one of the depressed moms when I do eventually stop (in 10 years lol).
@vl32 Well, I’m currently nursing my fourth, I have never felt depression after ending with the previous three. I think it’s natural to feel a twinge of grief for leaving the infant stage for a lot of people, and definitely not all people. But I wouldn’t say I’ve ever seen or heard of it causing true depression.
@vl32 I dunno if I’d call it depressed, but 2/3 times I was sad and nostalgic for my nursing time ending. Usually a lot of dithering of if it was the right decision. Sad that it was over and everything would change. But a week or three later I’m at peace and happy and wonder why I didn’t do it sooner.
One child I had no sadness because I was touched out. So just mild guilt for being happy to be done early.
Honestly, it sounds like you’re already there with the depression and dithering.
