Re: [breading] need support,advice, just some HELP

Gee weaning is hard, I know, I am almost finished here. Don't kick

yourself, you have given your child a fabulous gift of the best nourishment

she could hope for, for 11 months of her life. Be proud, that is more than

many moms in the US manage. And if the formula is giving her a rash, try

switching brands.

Hugs, I know it's tough, is almost 14 months and today was the first

day she didn't nurse at all, I tried to offer it to her but she wasn't

interested ... tried to get her when sleepy even but mummy nummies were

rejected ... ah well. If she is going to give it up, try to get one last

loving session in, so you have a sweet memory. Catch her when she's just

going to sleep or waking up and memorize the moment

big hugs

You guys are making me teary My ds just turned a year and I would like

to continue bfing until he's ready to stop. i used to be ok with the idea

of him initiating the end but now realizing that it's getting closer and

closer. It's such a special time, and I think all too often we take

forgranted this bond we have with our babes for such a short time in their

lives. Sure - we have to give up some things - but it's worth it. I know

tonight when I was nursing before bed that I was thinking that I could

be upstairs doing other things - but now I realize that it's only 15 minutes

out of my day and it's time I can spend alone with him. We won't have that

connection forever. I'm going to try to cherish each time we get in our

rocking chair before bed. I can imagine how hard it is to be coming to the

end.
