Thank you for posting - all of you. I have just recently quit breatfeeding my son and have found myself crying every night when i get home since his last feeding a few days ago. I have had to make the decision to stop bf earlier than I had initially planned on. I feel like I'm giving up something so special, something i may never experience again. I have actually been continuing to pump some in order to hold on to that option to start up again. I miss that special time with him. It's almost like a time of meditation or retreat from the world. But in the midst of my sadness and indecision, it's so good to be reminded that bonding will continue on in other ways... I guess i haven't really been thinking that far ahead, haha- I've been so focused on the present. Anyway, thanks again for posting. I know I should be thankful for the time I've had breastfeeding and look forward to all the new experiences we have ahead!
