    Mamas that stop cold turkey, dont be afraid to pump a little pressure off or express. It wont stimulate you too much, just take the edge off

    I’m happy to read through all these stories of moms who are so done with breastfeeding their toddler. I stopped breastfeeding at 15 months and honestly it’s been more emotionally painful than physically. I kept going back and forth about whether or not I made the right decision and feeling guilty. But now I’m also remembering just how gruelling and frustrating it can feel, and I’m sure stopping when she turns two would be even harder.

    Thank you so much for making this video. I will try it this way. My son is 18 months and I would like my breasts back. 😊

    I'm going cold turkey... it's painful for me i feel like I have golf balls inside my breasts... anything touches it it's so painful I can't hold my baby properly makes me sad.. esp because she's only 2 months. Breastfeeding just wasn't for me

    I'm currently on day 6 of going cold turkey. My boobs hurt a lot and are super engorged. I bought a tea that's supposed to help it's called "no flow" by pink stork, lets see how that goes. My son is 14 months old and is not doing as bad as I thought he would. First night he woke 4 times crying the first 3 i managed to calm him but the 4th he cried for like 30mi (I know, I cried too) second night- 4th night he woke like 3 times and cried only ine time for like 5 min. The 5th night witch was last night I didn't hear him waking up til like 8am crying but just for a few min and he just woke for the day, had almond milk and breakfast. I co-sleep so i felt it was gonna be harder but the hardest thing is watching him cry and how bad my boobs hurt, I can only sleep on my back and i express some milk in the shower. Next goal is having him sleep in his crib cuz it's been empty since he was born 😂😂 he took over our bed lol anyway, I'll come back for an update on the tea and let u ladies know if it helped at all. Today is September 21st 2020.

    I haven’t breastfed my almost 14 month old since this morning. Not looking forward to tonight but looking forward to just be done. His pediatrician had told me to wean cold turkey but I needed a video to know what to expect. Thank you for the encouragement and sharing your experience with us! 🤍

We mothers are great.

    I'm starting today. I'm nervous my son will be 3 in September. I'm ready to be done. I've tried to slowly wean him but it seems when I do that he just wants to nurse more. Time to just cut it off. It's bitter sweet because I worked soo hard to actually get him to latch that I pumped exclusively for the first 2 months while working on his latch.
