Birth Boobs and Babies
Night weaning is not an easy decision to make. Or maybe for some it’s the easiest one… I guess it depends on who you ask.

What once was voluptuous and toned, is now soft and empty…something I somehow wasn’t prepared for. One of my inner mantras is telling myself that what is now empty was once full of nutrients that sustained and grew my 3 children. It is a remarkable thing, what my body did, but it doesn’t take away from the feelings of disappointment with what I was left with.
