I had no idea that this morning would be the last time I breastfed my son.
He went to bed last night & only nursed on one side & it was just for a minute or two. I thought it was odd, but I kinda just assumed he'd wake up in a bit & remember that he wanted a full belly before he STTN. He didn't wake up until his normal morning time nursing session. I took him into my bed & nursed him for a bit, but again it was just 1 side. I wasn't concerned since my other nipple feels like he's been chewing thru it right now.
That was the last time he nursed. Around 8 am this morning. He never asked for milk all day long. He took 2 naps & went right to sleep without any milk. He drank his cup milk throughout the day. When bedtime came I asked him if he was tired. He walked to his bedroom; I followed. I scooped him up, gave him the pacifier, turned on his music & turned off the lights, layed him in his crib, tucked the blankets in around him & left the room.
I feel full and painful right now. A little bit sad. A little bit free. I feel like nursing my babies is something I'm really good at... I hope I get the opportunity to do it with 1 more baby. Only time will tell...
