Last time nursing baby :(

Today was the first day ever since my daughter was born that I didn’t nurse her once. Our breastfeeding journey has ended. I’m so incredibly proud of us for making it 15.5 months! I never had a goal when I had her it was just let’s give this a try! Soon it was to be able to breastfeed her for a month, then it was 6 months then 1 year. I never in a million years thought I’d still be nursing at fifteen and a half months. But I’m so glad I did! I never made her stop. I went by her cues. First we cut the before bed nursing. This wasn’t even planned she just slowly started nursing less and less and would want to jump down and play on her floor. Then went the mid day nursing and that was mostly because I was at work and she was at daycare so she got pumped bottles. When covid started I was still nursing 3x a day, then I went to giving her the frozen milk stash I had which lasted a while. Then just made the transition to whole milk for mid day. And now it’s the morning nursing session. I have so many sad emotions about it now. It makes me feel like my little baby isn’t a baby anymore. But then again I’m so proud of us! And proud of her! That this little girl is thriving so much and growing so fast. I’ll always cherish our nursing snugs it’s an experience I never knew I would love so much.
