So I’m in my third day of not breastfeeding. It’s hard it was a bond like none other but at same time she is going to be 3 in October and I Miss body. Why do I feel so guilty!
I have no idea. Try therapy? How about you forge connection in other ways—read books, play games, go in nature walks, learn something new together, do crafts, go places be housework buddies—and find yourself in roles other than “Mom.”
Be a great wife, friend, tap dancer, pet mom, volunteer, person with a profession, the funny one, the good cook, the baker, the green thumb lady—or whatever your roles and talents are so “breastfeeding mom” isn’t your whole identity.
Also kids grow up—deal with it. Yes, it goes so fast, but that’s life.
