Well, he weaned. It was sooner than I expected and I wasn't really ready. I am taking solace in the fact that:
- It was totally his idea. I even tried to stop the weaning process as soon as I realized what was going on.
- He was obviously ready and has developed into a really happy and independent little guy.
- I nursed beyond my goal of one year by making it to 13 months and 5 days.
- It wasn't hard on him at all (only me!). I didn't have to struggle to get him to wean.
So why am I still sad?
11 had something to say:
You know, I had a hard time when Desmina weaned too. It is a very bittersweet milestone.
I know it is a bittersweet thing to happen but I do want to say WTG for hanging in there for so long.
Girl, I been there. Our little men are growing up. They don't need us ~as much as~ they used to. This is a good thing. Next, they'll be driving! HA!
It's so hard, but you did an amazing job! I dried up at 10.5 months, and I was proud to have made it that long and you should be too!
B just weaned a few months ago. I thought I was ready for it but I still cried.
You have an award on my blog.
Aww, I remember feeling that way with Makena too. At exactly 14 months - she didn't want to nurse & I was so sad! You did an awesome job mama.
Ella weaned this week too... it was also very non-traumatic, just as I wanted. But still a little sad! I feel for ya Momma.
awww, he's growing up so fast! And you've given him a great start by breastfeeding!!
let me try that again...but from the right account...
I was saying that its hard at 6 weeks and its hard at 2 years, but its the hardest when its not what mommy wants, regardless of what babies want. I had a really really hard time. Many hugs to you sweetie. You are an amazing mommy.
