The Last Baby’s Last Feed: Saying Goodbye to Our Journey Together

This morning was one for the books—my last baby’s last breastfeed. It hit me harder than I imagined. I snapped a few blurry photos, capturing the moment, grainy and imperfect, just like my breastfeeding journey itself. I thought of keeping this one close to my chest, but knowing that so many of you, fellow mums, have your own stories makes me want to share mine too. Because isn’t that what motherhood is? A blend of personal battles, shared moments, and messy triumphs.

The Struggle and the Joy of Breastfeeding

Breastfeeding was no walk in the park. Between endless work hours, supply issues, and the surprise complications, I fought to make it work. My first two boys weaned at six months, and not by choice. That heartbreak is something only another mum can understand—the weight of wanting to hold on just a little longer, to feel that closeness for another day.

Do you remember those sleepless nights, the sore days, and that little voice in your head saying, "Just one more day"? Through it all, there were moments of magic: the closeness, the knowing look, that tiny hand clutching mine. For all the exhaustion, it’s a memory I wouldn’t trade for the world.

This Time, I Got to Choose: A Bittersweet Goodbye

With my last baby, things went differently. Twenty-two whole months together—each feed a tiny victory, a little celebration of the bond we shared. But this morning, I knew it was time. We’re saying goodbye to our breastfeeding journey, and my heart is tugging in a thousand directions. The gratitude, the ache, the pride—they all hit at once.

Did you feel it too, that bittersweet moment of knowing it’s time? Having the choice to wean when we were ready was a gift, yet so raw and emotional. It’s like closing a chapter that feels both complete and unfinished at the same time.

Forever Thankful for This Journey

As I step away from this stage, I’m beyond grateful for every moment, every challenge, and every soft memory with my boys. To think back, breastfeeding was something I once took for granted, but here we are—eyes streaming, hearts full, and a little bit changed. Here’s to all the beautiful chaos, the tearful endings, and the memories that shape us as mums. Thank you, my babies, for this unforgettable ride.
