Hi, I am wondering how long your depression has carried on. I never wanted to really stop BFing at 20 months.(I supplemented though after 8 months) I still have little drops of milk after 2.5 yrs (my daughter is 4 now). I realize now that I have been quite attached to the milk. Almost every week I would sqeeze to see if those few drops are still there. In the back of my mind I thought as long as its still active, then in an emergency she can go back to nursing after days of sucking. NOW crap....I am having a hard time with losing that bond. I don't know why now. Maybe because I would love another child and it's too late. Maybe because I understand more about Bf now and wished I had gone on longer. I have decided to stimulate the milk production and pump at least one glass per day for her. It's healthy, she will stay weaned and I will fell like I'm doing all I can to nuture.
