I knew that weaning my daughter would cause some turmoil within me. I knew that I would feel a loss and would mourn breastfeeding.
I just didn't know weaning Roo would effect me like this.
I feel utterly depressed.
I feel like I'm going to burst into tears at any second.
It's not a feeling I can easily explain.
I just feel hollow and my breasts are full.
I could use a hug from my Mother right now.

So sad that babies have to grow up, huh. I have never had the pleasure (of breast feeding, or having a baby!) I am happy for you that you got to experience it. I like your blog, I will come back- if that's okay! :D
Happy New Year from AZ!
Oh, I am not your mom, but I am sending you a HUGE HUGE hug!
I know it is so tough. It seems another step to them getting older. You will get through this! You are an amazing Mom!
I am reading La Leche League's "The Womanly Art of Breastfeeding" right now, in preparation for my baby's arrival in a few weeks. Already I am sad inside at the thought that someday my relationship with my daughter will move away from breastfeeding, so I really can't image how tough it must be for actually to experience it.
Make some hot chocolate for Roo & yourself -- maybe enjoying a mug together can become some new bonding time :) I used to love sitting with my mom and drinking tea, just her and I. I hope that doesn't sound like a callous thing to say.
I'm sending many e-hugs and lots of encouragement your way!
Oh mommacita, it sucks. I know, I've had to do it four times! #4 was hardest because I knew she was the last. The best thing you can do, honestly, is feel it. Let yourself mourn the loss. Then think about the breastfeeding not-so-fun things you won't have to do soon, like pads, leaks or pumping.
Nothing can get you through this but time. and cyber mom hugs )))))
{{{HUGS}}} I'm sorry you are feeling so sad. It's very hard to let our babies grow up.
Oh, I feel so bad for you! Like I said, I don't know what this is like. I can imagine though.
Sending you big hugs and kisses! xoxooxox
I am so sorry!!! Here's a hug from me too! I hope tomorrow goes better!
Oh, I know how hard it can be :-( But you'll both get through it okay! My middle daughter weaned me at 11 months and I was sooo sad...but what can ya do, hehe. I hope it all goes well...BIG HUGS to you!
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Awww, stay strong. It will be harder for you than it will be for her!! Lots of hugs!!
Though I do not know how you're feeling... I'm def. feeling for you. You will snap out of this & probably end up feeling so free!(This is me hoping BIG for you, hehe!) Either way... I hope it all goes smoothly!
I'm so glad you stopped by my blog so I could come check out yours! I'm going to stalk you some more!:) Come back and see me!

Are you weaning because you want to, or because Roo is ready? My daughter is 22 months old and still very attached to nursing at nights. I feel for you, because I know my heart will break the day we wean.
oh hun, am so sorry for you. it was like that for me too. just know that it gets better. it took a couple weeks for me to feel normal. :(
you can do it!
I'm right there with you. I weaned my fourth last month and ... you think it'd get easier, hunh?
The great news is that the baby keeps doing amazing things to distract you from the passage of time.
Hope it gets better soon.
