I am gonna miss it so much

Since my son started on solids and is doing amazingly well, his feeds have drastically reduced. Nappies, growth etc are all fine.

I had worried about him never being off the boob and weaning being a fight but seems like it’s happening naturally. We’re only at 8 months so still hopefully lots of time left but it makes me SO sad to think he just won’t one day and will I know the last time it happens?

How do you explain this sadness to other people?! I never thought I would feel like this! And I really can’t put it into words.

He’s our one and only baby (difficult conceiving and previous pregnancy losses and scarring etc etc mean we won’t try again). And it kind of feels like grief?! Is it just hormones?
