My daughter is 18 months and has only been nursing once a day (before bed) for a few months now. Since about 14/15 months I’ve been dealing with nursing aversion, especially when I’m on my period. I didn’t nurse her last night because I worked late and her dad put her to sleep before I got home. Tonight I did our bedtime routine and laid down to nurse her and I just... couldn’t. The aversion was too strong and was making me cringe. I ended the nursing session after about 10 seconds, and laid her in her crib instead.I’m kinda heartbroken. I don’t wanna be done, and I don’t always have this nasty aversion to it but when I do it’s bad :( I don’t wanna end up resenting her. But I didn’t even get pics or make our last time special :( would it be weird if I nursed her one last time tomorrow night? Just so I could remember the last time and take some sentimental pictures? My breastfeeding journey has been complicated. I dried up due to severe PPD and successfully relactated to a full supply around 4/5 months PP. it’s one of my biggest accomplishments, and I really wanted to nurse her until she self weaned but idk if I can. Also, my supply is very very low now due to her only nursing once a day and me no longer pumping at work, so I think that’s why the aversion is so bad. She spends the majority of the time nursing suckling instead of swallowing which just feels icky to me now.Ugh. Sorry for the book but I just had to vent. via /r/Parenting https://ift.tt/3tc1aLs
