Grant is now 10-months old and this week I started the process of weaning him off of breast milk. While I will continue to pump a couple of times a day, the overwhelming majority of his liquid intake will now be formula.
This makes me a little sad. This phase of my life is over. The “shop” is closed. Facing this reality has me feeling some kind of way. I’m a middle-aged mommy and yes I’m FABULOUS!!!! At least that’s what I keep telling myself. But if I’m being completely honest, knowing that my child-bearing years are behind me has been much harder to handle than I ever imagined.
Mommies, how did you handle this?
