I've finally stopped!

Well, Freya is now 18 months and one day old and tonight, for the first time, I put her to bed without a BF

She's been faffing about with it for ages so I knew it was more or less time to knock it on the head but I was putting it off, partly because I didn't want the stress of changing her routine and partly because I didn't really want to stop anyway!

Anyway, tonight, I had a new story book for her so we had that instead of singing and BF and she didn't make any attempt to have 'Beeboo'. I don't know whether to be sad or pleased! xfingers

it's not just first night luck! I need a break before I start again with number two. I hope I can be as successful at BF my new LO come October, I certainly won't assume that my new baby takes to it as well as Freya did.

Well done you, such an amazing thing you have done for Freya. I stopped BF as soon as I found out I was pregnant again, as I wanted to give my boobs a break!!! It does feel weird to stop, but lets hope she settles well every night. I remember after 1 week any sad feelings had gone. As you are such an expert lets hope it goes well with your new baby

I am really worried about a new one, as I'm not sure I'll have the time to do quiet hour long BF as my DS isn't at nursery

Ah, it is very sad stopping hon isn't it, well done for getting to 18 months!!! I got to 14 and DD was quite poorly and couldn't feed and so my bobbillies (as she calls them) stopped working

its such a strange and emotional thing isn't it. Still, as you say, a little break and then no doubt you will have another to share that special time with

Thanks everyone!

Lottie - Looks like you are in a very similar position to me, Freya won't be at nursery either so it's going to be fun having a tiny and a two year old to deal with! Congratulations on your pg, it's funny how things work out isn't it, I had a natural miracle too!

Dusky - I love the funny names they come up with! Freya called mine 'Beeboo' :snigger:

Polly - Thanks! xfingers

my new LO takes to it as well. If he/she does I figure I might get my body back to myself sometime in 2014 (not that I am complaining of course)

You both may find your new LO feeds a bit different, my DD2 did she would fill up quickly and stop where as DD1 would feed all day if she could. Also DD1 was 19 months when DD2 was born she wasn't/isn't in nursery and at the time I was living 150 miles away from our nearest family so no one about to help out, for us BF worked partly because I tandem feed but also because I gave DD1 cuddles while DD2 was feeding.

Gracie 2014 sounds like ages away!
