She was later diagnosed with a sensory integration disorder and nursing was the only thing that ever calmed her down so I nursed her until she was 2.5. I went away for three days and when I got back I just told her no for a few days and Kim Duffyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00693483040794821913noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1300660817354328186.post-79446658300560331772016-08-07T19:19:26.596+00:002016-08-07T19:19:26.596+00:00I nursed my 1st for about 3 weeks, barely producin...I nursed my 1st for about 3 weeks, barely producing milk, taking supplements, having to pump between feedings to stimulate milk production, etc. I had to stop because I could not sleep at all, went into post-partum depression, got hospitalized for a month, had to take drugs, etc. So it stopped the nursing abruptly and it felt like a failure for a long time.

In my opinion, it is very important to point out that breastfeeding is the architect of the airway, it is not just about food, seeding the microbiome, and bonding.

It was disheartening to say the least. I truly admire the dedication you put into nursing.

I nursed one of my boys until 2, and he is the one with sensory issues. My point is I don't think they are related at all. Congrats on getting your body back!

I nursed #2 until 4 years 2 months old which meant it was all through my pregnancy with #3. I even nursed #2 while I was in the hospital in labor. With #3 I planned to self wean but a few weeks before #3's third birthday I needed to be done.

For me, I never regretted or disliked nursing, but I definitely relate to the "touched out" feeling. As my boys got older, it translated into my relationship with my husband - not wanting another person to touch me at the end of the day, or feeling like it was a chore.

Right now my preemie (21 months) is still nursing a few times a day, and my 4 year old also asks once a day. I don't mind, but I do cut the session short because she is "forgetting" how to do it. When this happens, it's a sign the child is ready! I could definitely try the Carrie Hugginshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04439049196337197660noreply@blogger.com
