3 days since my nursling nursed
| Mon, 07-09-2012 - 10:10am |
DS hasn't asked to nurse since Friday. Because I felt I needed to cut back I wasn't offering but I didn't say no to him either. DH was keen for me to stop offering too. We were pretty much down to nursing at bedtime and naptimes only, for a few weeks. But now he lies down beside me and goes to sleep by himself. I'm feeling sad. He's only 21 months but I guess he must be ready. I miss nursing already! I can't believe that part of our relationship is over. I'm sad but I am also hopeful that it could improve our ttc journey. I'm also back on vitex. I had dreams of nursing two together. That's not looking very likely now. 
My mum said I should feel happy for a job well done. But I think he would have nursed longer had I been actively offering so I think I could have done better. I will never be one of those awesome Time Magazine nursing mamas.
I'm sad and the heat here is killing me!

awww, that is so nice. Glad it wasn't such an abrupt end for you. Hope DH doesn't mind too much
DS did the same thing for MONTHS! He would stop for a couple of days, I would cry at the thought and he would pick it up again... the last several months were only night feeds (he was too busy during the day to be bothered!)... but it was a peaceful and beautiful process when he did wean and I was grateful it was on his terms. A few months after he weaned, he asked again but said the milk was sour
Wishing you luck on getting your BFP and lots of praise for following your mommy heart and allowing your little one to call the shots on a very special and important relationship.
hugs,
