Weaning that is. Oliver has stopped feeding.
I’m not sure when exactly he stopped – he’s been reducing his feeds for months. He’d feed a couple of times in one day, then nothing for a day, then a feed, then another skipped day. More gradual than Izzy from what I remember, but earlier than I’d originally planned/expected. He asked for a feed roughly 2 weeks ago, but gagged on the breast and then dropped down laughing and shouting “no”, so has probably lost his latch (Isabel did v. quickly too.) I thought there’d be a resurgence in requests after last week’s first full week at nursery but he rejected my offers.
As I predicted, I’ve not had the 2 weeks of mourning like I did with Isabel (and is quite common in nursing mums) although I’ve still got milk, so not sure if that will come later…
Another ‘end of an era’, anyway.

Hopefully you will be fine, I was with #2 & #3. Like you it was after #1 I had a hard time. Not sure why that was.

I’m sorry Jem. I remember how devastating it was when you all stopped feeding. *Hug*
