The end of a season

This month marks the end of a season - my son Xavier is no longer breastfeeding. In the beginning i wasn't sure we would even reach our first milestone of 3mths without supplementing with formula and now we got to 18mths. No formula has ever touched his lips.

As of today, it's been just over 3 days since Xavier's last feed and while i knew we were nearly finished with nursing i wasn't sure i was ready to let it go on Monday, but when He had his last feed on Wednesday i felt at ease. We'd come so far together, my body has provided nourishment for him for this long and now begins a new season with more independence for him.
