Bitter sweet as I know it's the last time feeding for me as we're done on the baby front, so part of me is a little sad & the other part is relieved.

I've got lots of expressed milk in the freezer so he'll have about another week taking him to 6 wks which I'm happy with. In 5 wks he's gone from 7lb 13 to almost ilb so I've fattened him up nicely .
