Emotional about ending breastfeeding journey

Robin

Anybody else super emotional about stopping breastfeeding?? I have had zero complications-no latching issues or chapness or infections etc. At the beginning it was love hate relationship because of the feeling of being tied down. Then as I went back to work I enjoyed it bc it was our time together, now that he's 8 months he can feed himself with a bottle & it's just worked out between traveling etc that he's now 100% bottle/formula. Last Thursday I decided I'd nurse him to sleep at night one last time & I absolutely bawled. Pumped a bit Friday , didn't want to end on a pump so tried to nurse him Friday night again and he was too tired/distracted to do it. Tried again for a mid day nap on Saturday just to have a "one last good moment"..it was short but it worked. Sunday I didn't do it at all and now it's Monday and I've been crying all morning about being done . I was tempted to bring pump to work again just to keep enough production to nurse at night for awhile longer but didn't. He doesn't even need it to go to sleep anymore, it's just for my own emotional roller coaster. I thought I'd be relieved for this day but I'm so sad 😭
