Is it normal to miss breastfeeding?

Yep.Totally normal

Yes, it’s normal to miss breastfeeding after you stop. You may miss the closeness, routine, or sense of connection, even if you were ready to wean.

Breastfeeding can be a big part of your day and a special way to feel close to your child, so it makes sense to miss it when it ends. Weaning can also bring a mix of feelings—sadness, relief, nostalgia, or all three at once.

Missing it doesn’t mean you made the wrong choice or that you need to start again. You can miss that chapter and still feel good about moving on.
