Useless.

[Amy loves Bud]

Yesterday I didn't nurse Romy in the morning for the first time. So she is officially weaned. I was grieving a bit as I fixed everyone's breakfast and handed Romy a cup of whole milk.

I moaned a bit dramatically about how I was useless and Luke jumped on the game and told me I was good for nothing (tongue in cheek, obviously).

Peyton said, "Hey, at least she poured the milk." :nopity:

:grouphug: Amy, your kids sounds sweet. I don't know how you feel about nursing in general, but I since Romy is over a year I'm guessing atleast part of you must have enjoyed that part of motherhood.;) I always found it pretty sad and bitter sweet when my babies weaned. That new-found freedom always came with a price: my baby wasn't much of a baby anymore. :001_huh: Enjoy this new phase with your sweet daughter.

I feel useless b/c I am nursing. I could be more productive if I did not have to guard my milk (no meds) and hold a baby so often.

Oh, I so understand. Nursing can be such a huge part of the relationship between a mother and her child... and it's really hard to let that go. :grouphug:

It's been a year since I weaned my youngest, and I still miss it.

Ohhh, I really understand that feeling. Our youngest suddenly refused to nurse anymore at the ripe old age of 9 months. He just utterly refused to do it. It was very upsetting to me on a few different levels, but partly because I knew he would be our last baby. I had hoped to let him nurse for about 18 months, but he just stopped one day. It was very traumatic for me and I still feel sad when I think of it six years later.

Sending a big hug because weaning is often harder on the mom.:grouphug:

I weaned my last baby this spring, just before his second birthday. :grouphug:

Oh, I remember how that ached! I'm glad you have a humorous bunch to keep your spirits up!

My body has just weaned my daughter, but she still wants me to pull up my shirt now and then so she can have a look! Sometimes she wants to put her mouth over my nipple, but I think she's forgotten how to suckle, or maybe it's just not worth the trouble to get the 1/4 tsp worth still left. I'm glad I can still inspire such delight, but I'd rather she didn't have to squeeze them just to check there's nothing there...

When I weaned Emily, she still asked for it 2 years later. I tole her there was no milk, but she cold lay her head on my chest.

awwww
weaning is such a bittersweet time isn't it?
I've felt that tug with every one of mine thus far, some moreso than others.

Love the peanut gallery comments though :p
