Now my 6th is 1 and should be the last.. I will not miss diapers. I'm also very excited to be done breastfeeding soon. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My youngest is 6 and I still miss breastfeeding 😔. It was my very favorite part of mothering. Reading aloud comes a close second and luckily I can still do that for a very long time 😉 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miss Tick Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 Yay! Sometimes I look at my teenagers and I'm amazed to think they are potty trained. 😆 I thought that time was going to stretch for ever. 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've done it because I know it is the best for the baby, it is free, and is easier to shove a boob in their face at night than get up and prepare a bottle. I will be so happy when I'm done, which will be soon since I start weaning kids at a year old. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Potty training is one of the reasons I stopped at 4. Also sleeping through the night. And mostly because DH was DONE. But yeah, I don't miss waking up to feed someone at 2:00 am He did point out last night that if we'd stuck to our usual pattern, I would be about a month away from having number 6 right now. I poured myself a very rare second glass of wine and enjoyed every sip. I didn't mind breastfeeding and love babies, but I'm thrilled to be almost done with 18 mo-3 yos. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really enjoyed it with my first three (ds2 and ds3 are twins), but not so much with my youngest. I nursed the last three for a long time due to allergies/doctor recommendation and was so happy when I was finally done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got thrush with my first and it was so incredibly painful and took so long to clear up that I just associate breastfeeding with pain. I even still get phantom pains from the thrush randomly and it has been 12 years. Plus I get over stimulated to touch easily so breastfeeding would have likely been fine if I didn't have so many young kids constantly cuddling and touching me at the same time. It was tough. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
