    I didn't realize this was the first time you had breastfed a baby. You are doing a great job. It's very normal to have those emotions when baby decides not to breastfeed suddenly. I felt bad for you. Then you had a clogged duct which is terribly painful. I'm glad to hear everything is back to normal now. ❤❤

    I had lots of clogged ducts with my oversupply. I found epsom salt baths to be amazing for clogged ducts. Also, they sell this vibrating thingy you can use while feeding and pumping that can help with clogs. It helped a little for me. Just some ideas in case you are still struggling with clogs. Everyone is different. I hope the clogs go away soon. You're doing great. The weaning makes you sooo emotional so give yourself lots of grace. ❤

      Also, I gained a bit of weight weaning. I eventually lost it. That may happen but it's probably temporary. It's amazing what a body is capable of but sometimes the changes or the "in between" times are a struggle. ❤

    Sending you so much love. Weaning is so emotional. My son just decided to wean after 17 months and it truly felt like I was grieving. It’s such a special bond. I hope you’re feeling better and giving yourself so many pats on the pack for breastfeeding for this long. Your kids are so lucky to have such a dedicated and loving mother. You always inspire me to do better each day. Thank you for being you and sharing it all. ❤❤

    I totally get you. When my baby was born we got sick a lot and I didn't know you had to breast pump all the time, so my milk dropped. I gave up breast feeding at 3 months because my breast's weren't letting down right away. So he would get mad and gag on the boob. I literally pumped for I think 5 months after that and my milk never recovered. I didn't breast pump at night (which was probably the reason). And when I finally stopped it was so emotional just like you said . I cried for a week. It was like a break up an emotional breakup. It's so weird. But you'll recover fast I promise. It was sad to because it's probably my only and last baby

    Jenna you will have more time for Nicholas who have less attention, less cuddle, less sweets words. He had each time drank his bottle alone without your arms. Nicolas was a little bit abandonned. Each videos shows you and tour Alex and less of your tenderness for Nick.
    The two deserved but always a twins have à less.

I looked up y flu is around during fall and winter..influenza Loves Cold and it thrives in it.. y flu is so bad starting when school starts.. your baby girl probably brought it home when school started. My grandchildren would be in school less than a month and bam someone is Sick.. that’s y I Love homeschooling..wishing you All better WELL days…❤ Love to All 🥰 take the self weaning my dear.

    Hi Jen. You are such an amazing mom! You should give yourself a huge pat on the back. You have 4 small children and I look at everything you do, it’s totally amazing!! Please stop stressing about the breastfeeding. It is emotional as it makes a close bond with your child. You & baby will know when it’s time to stop. I’m glad it’s back to normal now. You’re like a whirlwind with all the rushing about. You have a lovely family. Your husband must be so proud of you. Nothing beats home cooked foods and cuddles. It was refreshing to see you have some ‘you’ time. Glad you’re all on the mend now. Looking forward to the next one ❤

    I m so happy for you that Alex is taking breast again.
    I also breast fed my children, and weaning is a proces that goes gradually and slow. When a child stops at once, we call it breastrefusing, and there is a reason for it. Often it is pain or infection. Its not normal weaning.
    You did a good job and I'm proud of you! And your husband is such a good father!

    But you hit the nail on the head in your comment it is a bit like a break up 😢…..it’s such an beautiful experience breastfeeding but no offence to mums who couldn’t do it, or chose not to - it is a very personal decision and no mum who ever be put in a position to explain their decision…. You will get through this next sad moment and many more exciting things ahead for you all xx

    I feel bad that u r so tired/overworked all the time......I wish I had suggestions to help......are u still writing out all the things u need to do each day and then checking the list as the day goes by? Would it help to make lunches for the next day at supper time- once the kids have their food maybe...for the floor under the toddler's high chairs.....maybe u could put down a couple of pieces of newspaper for each meal and then u wouldn't have to pick up the biggest pieces with yur hands and then sweep and mop. You could just throw out the 2 pieces of newspaper...
