Hello MFP!
Looking for nursing/ weaning buddies! I nursed my son (13 mos) from birth until now we are down to just the night time feeding. I need some emotional support as well as dieting. I am feeling the "postpardum like" effects of nursing coming to a close and feel emotionally and physically numb most days. This of course leads me to being numb about my eating decisions and of course exercising too! I am at 179 and desperately want to reach 145! Any advice out there? Anyone want to be buddies through this WITH me? I just need a push and some accountability!

    Hey Momma,
    I am nursing my third baby now...The last time you nurse him you will cry and thats ok !! When he is done kiss your big boy good night and pat yourself on the back for giving him such a gift. Now its time to look forward to the next chapter in your mommy world!! Dont let your emotions get in your way...you have done the ultimate healthy thing for your son...now lead by example on how to eat healthy for the rest of his life!!! You can do it!! :smile:

    I just weaned my 2nd last week. I am now going through all the crazy side effects that seem to come along with weaning: loss of appetite, extreme fatigue, mood swings, depression.
    I don't know if I experienced these symptoms last time around because not long before my mother had passed and was going through grief and depression from that.
    I hope that it doesn't last long. I'd like to start feeling like my ol' self again!
