It has been 36 hours since Lea's last 2 min. nursing session. I have been trying to distract her from breast feeding for a while, but I have issues with saying "no way" to her. In fact, I refuse to. Anyways, I think she is getting ready to stop on her own. It was very easy to steer her away from nursing this morning and it never even came up at nap time. Aside from trying to nibble on my cheeks and nose because it makes me giggle and she thinks she's hilarious (future class clown, I am sure), she was totally chill about going down to nap. I am surprised at how well she self-soothes considering she never cried it out. On the flip side, though she knows I am always right with her if she needs a hug or cuddle, when she's mad about something, the only way to calm her down is to do nothing. If I try to mommy her and hug on her, she screams "LEGGO-UMME!" and stops crying as soon as I put her down. She's my little tough as nails girl.
But I digress. I am sure that we are not totally done nursing, but there's the chance that this is our last month and that's just fine by me.
PS Half apple juice, half water with frozen pineapple chunks floating around. . . YUM!
good luck with continued weaning success! :)
ReplyDeletemy limit is 2 and if he's not weaned by then i'm not sure how on earth i'm going to do it! he's SUCH a booby kid!
ReplyDeletei'm glad it's going so well for you!
Booby kid! Haha!
ReplyDeleteI am pretty desperate to get her weaned a few months before #2 comes along. I don't know how we would do with tandem nursing and I don't want any boob rivalry going on. I think 2 years old is a good age for both of us. It's all emotional at this point, anyways. I stopped producing to the point where I cannot even hand express, so I don't think she's getting much. . .
