The Feeding Couch
Susanne- using ritual & ceremony to say goodbye to her breastfeding journey
Susanne really enjoyed breastfeeding her two children. She had made up her mind that she wanted to stop breastfeeding when her youngest was turning two, but she found herself with a difficult internal struggle. Susanne saw this as an opportunity for personal growth and she worked with a coach to dive deeper into all these mixed emotions. The coach provided a beautiful ending ritual and Susanne's closure of her breastfeeding journey became a very empowering experience, deepening the compassionate and loving connection with herself and her children.
In this episode we delve deeper into:
- Breastfeeding in a country where this is appreciated and valued, supported by the government and supported by society.
- Trying to fall pregnant again and being told by the doctor to stop breastfeeding.
- Breastfeeding and donating milk to the local hospital.
- Night feeding until 2 years old.
- Working with a coach who helped Susanne look further into her thoughts such as: (not) being a good enough mum, does she trust her son will be OK when breastfeeding stops, does she love her children as much as they need, and can she choose to take her body back for herself?
- How a wonderful ending ceremony helped Susanne feel rooted, stay fully present and not feeling any doubt about her decision to wean her son.
