Ending our nursing journey :(
I’ve been nursing my almost 2 year old since she was born. It has been her biggest source of comfort. It was often the only thing that would calm her. She had decreased interest and was down to only nursing at bedtime. I’m pregnant now and I think my milk officially dried up. She kept trying to nurse at bedtime tonight but then she would bite. She’s never down that before. Eventually I realized she wasn’t getting any milk and she realized that nothing she was trying was making milk come. She finally looked at me with such a look of despair and started sobbing. I’ve never seen such sadness in her eyes. Eventually she gave up and just snuggled up against my boob and rubbed her hand on it and finally (after a ton of crying) fell asleep. I’m feeling so heartbroken. I hate to see her sad. And I feel guilty that getting pregnant took away her biggest source of comfort. Anyone have some helpful words for a very sad and hormonal momma??
