After one year and three weeks, I can say I'm done breastfeeding. So many feelings at the same time. Empowered, accomplished, proud, nostalgic, grateful, in love, super, happy. What a beautiful journey it's been. Thank you God for this blessing.
@arivera64, I just read a chapter about this in the book The Womanly Art of Breastfeeding. It is through La Leche League. I highly recommend it.

awwww.....my son is not interested in stopping. He still nurses like an infant....about 10 times if i let him. Ive been trying to get him down to about 3 or 4 times, which works out when i work a full day.
@arivera64, The reason I'm stopping has been more led by him than myself. For the last couple of months he's been slowly losing interest. This is how it went: by 9months I was only breastfeeding three times a day. I started thinking on stopping after one year. So I decided that at 10months I would remove the second session. Honestly, I didn't know how bc there was a part of me that felt bittersweet and didn't want to stop ever. The same day he turned 10mths we took a morning nap together and we slept for so long that the noon session was skipped, so I took advantage of that and decided that day was the day. I thought I was going to stay breastfeeding morning and night session forever bc for me those were the most yummy cuddly ones. But by 12mths, one morning he didn't ask or show interest *which never happened, he would cry and poke my boob lol* so that's when we stopped morning session, and gave him a bottle instead. A week after no morning, he showed more interest on bottle than boob so was veeery distracted while feeding. That's when I decided to slowly remove that session. I would give him one boob, then bottle. Until he didn't want more booby. 🙂🙁
