All last week as my body was gently reminding me that it COULD still breastfeed, if I wanted to. I resisted mightily, and now am officially on the other side! I feel sad and excited at the same time. Sam is such a big boy lately, eating and talking. Just last week, he began to say "I like it" and "No like it," taking a new level of control over his own diet.
So what will become of babyfood, the blog? Looking back, there seems to have been a trajectory of shock, desperate search for answers, tons of research read, realization of the higher level of barriers (not just physical) I was caught in, and then finally, a sense of calm. Last week, I went back and tagged my posts by baby's age so those mothering infants can find posts relevant to them. I will continue to post about toddler feeding, especially as we enter the potentially picky-eating phase, and also reflect on my year and a half of baby feeding.
I'm also thinking of two close friends who embarked on their own babyfeeding journey nearly the same day that I ended mine, sending them good luck and best wishes.
On to the next phase! Thank you for sticking with me.
