the end is in sight
Dearest m.k.b.'ers,
I'm not sure how much longer I will be nursing. I'm resentful at times. I may cut my youngest back to two or three times a day. I needed to get that off my chest. I don't know if I will wean tomorrow, next week, next month or next year. Or in 2008. I probably won't have any more children and that will be it for my milk making. Weird. I found this poem on another mom's blog. So touching and true. I am going to print it out and put it up in the kitchen. ------- Wean Me Gently by Cathy Cardall I know I look so big to you, Maybe I seem too big for the needs I have. But no matter how big we get, We still have needs that are important to us. I know that our relationship is growing and changing, But I still need you. I need your warmth and closeness, Especially at the end of the day When we snuggle up in bed. Please don't get too busy for us to nurse. I know you think I can be patient, Or find something to take the place of a nursing; A book, a glass of something, But nothing can take your place when I need you. Sometimes just cuddling with you, Having you near me is enough. I guess I am growing and becoming independent, But please be there. This bond we have is so strong and so important to me, Please don't break it abruptly. Wean me gently, Because I am your mother, And my heart is tender. ------ -- Dagny Tandem nursing mom to Meg, 10/03 and Poppin Fresh, 1/05 |

I love that poem.
Tandemming is hard. I was often resentful, especially of my older child (who nursed to 38 months--they weaned at the same time when the "baby" was 26 months). I let it show, too, and I'm not happy about that! It was much easier to nurse my next one for almost 4 years. It's just something, I think, about having two, and maybe about feeling like the older one really ought to have moved on by now. So I really do understand where you are coming from. Leslie |
