I am a lucky, lucky gal. I had been living in terror of weaning Bear but it went as smoothly as I could have possibly hoped. Bear dropped his daytime feedings without a care and offered very little resistance to the rest. We dropped one feeding a week and that seemed to work the best for both of us. I had almost zero pain. All in all a very positive ending to our breastfeeding relationship.
I know for some women it is a very bittersweet experience but I was more like "free at last! Free at last!" Ultimately, I am glad I stuck with it, but having had one breastfed baby and one formula fed, I am hard-pressed to say which I preferred. The moral of the story is: babies need to be fed. Doesn't matter how. The end.
