Almost 8 months of only breastfeeding nd I felt drained from pumping nd going bk to work I decided to start formula but he hated it and would deny the formula bottles. Last night he actually took 4 ounces of straight formula nd this morning the same. Is it normal to feel sad breastfeeding is coming to an end even though its wat u want?

It’s also a chemical thing. When you nurse your body releases oxytocin so when you stop you end up coming off of a high. It’s tough and takes some time to regulate.

Very normal! I nursed and then pumped forever, and still felt sad when we were done with all that. It represents a milestone, your baby growing up, which can be very bittersweet. 😢💜

I'm feeling it. I think its normal. I have a lot of milk frozen and my goal was 1 year and I'm exclusively pumping and I went down to 4 pumps and cant go down anymore. 😥 but I dont want to be pumping ova the summer want to be able to go out and do stuff with my girls. Let's see until when my guilt will let me lower my pump session.

Even though I became extremely depressed while breastfeeding and resented it, the day I stopped I felt guilty. I felt like I was failing him. Mom guilt can be intense

Yes it’s normal! You will feel sad no matter how old your baby is. My daughter weaned at 2.5 and even though it was the right time for both of us I felt sad for a while. Feel proud of the time you put in! You could mix formula with breastmilk if that helps with the transition. Continue pumping but drop a session little by little to reduce your supply.

Short Luteal Phase?

I've just started temping because I believe that the reason I haven't had a BFP yet, after 20 months, is because I believe I may have a Luteal Phase Defect.
