Αnd the image isn’t the only thing that has impact. Maya reveals in her post how emotionally difficult weaning was for her and how they helped their youngest daughter through the process. Reads the caption:

My lovely daughter nursed for the first and last time.

I had to ғɪɢʜt back Tᴇᴀʀs as I tried to raise my arm in this photo since it meant that I would never be able to nurse my daughter again. I have been breastfeeding for so a long time that I have no idea what it’s like to stop.

My spouse was crying in a way that I had never seen him cry before, like genuinely, a deep belly cry, as I peered behind the camera. I hope she still sees me in that light because I was her source of solace and security. She ultimately has a bed in a bedroom that she shares with her sister at the age of two and a half. We purchased her first bed and tried to distract her with anything we could think of, including treats and new toys.

My spouse now controls every aspect of bedtime, including any overnight awakenings. Our third day has passed, and each day is becoming a little bit less difficult. I can’t wait to resume it once she stops aSᴋɪɴg to nurse because the guilt I feel for not putting her to bed is so strong. Αlthough it is difficult to ᴄʟᴏsᴇ a chapter, I have faith that this new season of our lives will also be memorable in its own right.

She will become more independent through this stage of development, and I will also get a much-needed rest. She released her latch for the final time, and I sobbingly told my husBᴀɴd, “I tried my best.” He gave me a hug and said: “No. Since you gave her your all, you performed at your best “. I adore my family and am eternally grateful for precious occasions like these.
