Sad about the way weaning is happening
I always have trouble weaning. I'm trying to do things differently this
time. I recently weaned from our morning feed and it is the only one that went painlessly. I say 'finish up' - sing them a song - unlatch them - and then PARTY. I clap and laugh and call them big boys. They look like they want to cry but then have fun instead. Good idea... I REALLY want it to end on a happy note. I know I'll be sad when she has her last feed, but I'd like the memories to be happy ones. I always wanted weaning to be so gentle we didn't notice it, and for the most part, it has been. I don't want her to feel like she's too old to breastfeed, if she still has the need.. it's all good by me. I've been sick lately so I guess I'm a bit irritable and oversensitive and it doesn't help. When it was real short I just re-arranged the morning so I gave them a snack cup instead of sitting with them and then later in the morning I sit on the floor and let them be on my lap. Mine are only 16mos so not sure a similar approach would work for a big 3yo. Just some ideas. I know what you mean about feeling disappointed that the end isn't more sweet and less bitter. Hang in there. Thanks Nikki I can't believe your boys are 16 months already! Your lot must keep you busy. Amy |
