Child-led weaning

Not sure if you've noticed that I've removed the breastfeeding timeline...why? coz I'm done with it..10 months of breastfeeding and it was finally over!!! By right I should have bf till 12 months but Cailynn no longer has a need to nurse. I guess all the solid food (being very tasty and nicer textures) that she is taking in now makes her less interested in nursing. And how do I feel? Physically, it can be quite painful for not emptying my breast and causes plugged ducts. I felt so much better today, yesterday was worst. Emotionally, I was a little down coz there is no turning back. Only two days I quit breastfeeding and I'm missing it already. Hmm...WT kept saying that I will have a chance to do it again if we want another child (well...hmmm..maybe, breastfeeding is not a reason at all to have a 3rd child!!! ). So yesterday, I kept myself busy by bringing the girls out to their weekly playgroup in the morning and then grocery shopping at Earth Fare in the afternoon. Anyway, deep inside me I am extremely happy that I managed to breastfeed twins!!! Not easy at all but can be done!!!
