After being away from C for the five days, I think that I'm going to call us officially weaned at nearly 18-months-old. He did shove his hand down my shirt yesterday afternoon when I got home, and tried to pull it up to nurse at bedtime last night (which we haven't done for a few weeks anyway), but I just told him that "mommy doesn't have any milk left" and asked if he wanted to snuggle. I gave him his sippy of WCM and we snuggled before bed. I expected the worst this morning, because the morning session was the one we hadn't dropped. H went in to get him dressed and he was off and running this morning with nary a tear.

Thanks to everyone here who helped me in the beginning, especially with issues related to my oversupply and fast letdown. While the LC at my hospital was good, she definitely was someone who believed that oversupply was the "good" problem to have and didn't have a ton of advice for me. I learned all about block feeding here, which was my saving grace in the first few weeks. And I never would have gotten through a year of pumping without all the tips and tricks from you ladies.

Also, based on the advice from several here, I took a photo from our last session before I headed to the airport on Saturday. (heart)

I weaned DD at the same age, and it went really well. Well, except for the fact that she spent the next year with her hand down my shirt at all times.

Awww congrats!! DS is almost 18 months and I think we'll stop nursing soon. (The nurse practitioner told me I should stop nursing in the 2nd trimester but frankly I'll stop when DS and I decide to, thank you very much!)

Congrats for going so long! It's a tough journey, especially starting out.

Babies are such a nice way to start people!

Thanks, all! I'm definitely a little sad about the end of that chapter for us, but also so glad that we could do it without having to force it.

Plus, I get my body back for a few months before TTC #2. I have no clue what to expect hormonally, but am really hoping for my very regular cycle to return!
