  • I was glad to stop breastfeeding my youngest. I was fed up of it all by then.

    I am very happy that I did my best by them and gave them the advantages that breastfeeding provides, but by the time my youngest was 14 months he had begun to lose interest and frankly, so had I. I love my children very much but it felt so good to get my body back.

    I know a lot of women who feel how you feel - they were gutted when their youngest stopped feeding and didn't want it to end. I sometimes worry there is something wrong with me for not feeling this way.

    • There is certainly nothing wrong with you, everyone’s body is different and will react to events in their own way. I’ve heard many accounts of relief at the end of breastfeeding. Apparently feeling as I do is only 15% normal after all.

      • The majority of people voting on this website have never had children so I wouldn't pay too much attention to the vote results.
