Thank you for this thoughtful article as this is a subject that needs to be talked about, and more women need to know that these feelings are a normal part of the emotional roller coaster of motherhood (e.g. I cried in the parking lot on my first child's first day of pre-school). Breastfeeding is an intense and wonderful bonding experience, and it is natural that we need to adjust emotionally when it ends, just like any other transition in life.
