Little update from me
Hi just want to reach out and share a bit with my people. How are you doing today?
Maybe i have not told you this, but for the last two weeks or so, I have been in the process of stopping breastfeeding my daughter (she is 2,5 right now). It's been quite an interesting journey for both of us.
My daughter is doing quite well with it, I must say. Of course its hard for a child not to have access to the boobs anymore. At least not drinking milk from it, because she is still allowed to play and kiss them (lucky her). So there have been some really big tantrums, which i would have taken away normally with letting her suck my boobs. But now she has to learn how to move trough them without sucking.
For me personally, it has been an emotional rollercoaster. I think the hormones that are released with breastfeeding are quite lovely and feel good. What i am noticing with myself is that i have encountered quite some anger (my poor husband ;) So i have been with this for the last few weeks, and I am moving through it with dignity.
That's it for now i guess, just wanted to share what's on my mind.
What is on your mind today?
Blessings,
Freja

Just Pray and God will send you the right direction of lie!
I love it when you share your life, thoughts and feelings with us!!!!
In order for you to continue to get the hormones that are released during breastfeeding, have you considered having your husband suckle at your breasts? it could lead to other things that would also make you happy!
Enduring small hardships (loss of breast feeding ,etc.) while having caring and supportive parents will just make her stronger in the long run. Teaching how to deal with disappointment is a true gift worth giving.
stay strong partner sensual massage should help hopefully
Those are challenges men hardly have a clue about, in a same manner we don't know, by nature, anything related to this specific feeling and connections related to the carry of the baby in your own body during pregnancy.... I trust you and your husband will overcome all this peacefully.
Thank you for sharing that.
I could not imagine you having anger snaps😂😂😂 you are the most calming person on the earth. also, what is your thoughts on kids having a bottle rather than breastfeeding from the age of one?
Hi MC, haha yeah there is always two sides of the coin. You always see my calming side, my family also gets to see the other side. Especially in the morning (poor them 😅). My thoughts on bottle feeding: I have tried it but my daughter didn’t really like it very much. In general I think breastmilk is superior and most natural because it contains so many things that the child needs which are not present in cow milk. But off course it can be very handy in some cases if breastfeeding isn’t possible. I think it can also help the kids to get less dependent on the mother, which is sometimes an issue when you want to actually have your life back as a mother, haha.
