Awesome and such a personal article! It is hard to go off without little ones. My daughters both had severe separation anxiety themselves which made it difficult for me to do anything without them.
Breastfeeding is awesome! I wish more women had the support necessary to make it work. I had trouble to begin with - thank God I had a lactation specialist available at the critical moment to get it started - and I had huge determination too! I breastfed 6 children for about 10 years in total and would totally do it again - despite the pain it sometimes caused (#4 was the most difficult for me.)
Wow 10 years!!!!!!!! I'm anticipating that long too haha, but right now I really can't imagine that :) kudos to you, @viking-ventures!!!! So glad to read this from an experienced mom. By the way, how did you wean? :P
Off the breast?
With my eldest, I'd just push him a little bit further between feedings.
The younger ones more or less chose their time for one reason or another...
I fed them: 14 mos, 13 mos, 18 mos, 17 mos 36 mos and 24 mos.
