My son is weaned :(

I think it's official that my 26 month old is now completely weaned.

I am really sad, but also happy. I know you can all relate to that. I am
sad that it's over but so happy that it happened. I still can't believe we
made it so long!! Yippee for us!!!!!!

Thank you all so much for your wealth of knowledge. I really and truly
could not have done it without you all. I will be sticking around and
helping out when I can!

Fondly,
Sue

Oh Sue, I know how you feel (exactly!) DD has just weaned at 26 months
too (I think she is one day older than your son, May 20). For us it was
a long time coming, she'd been down to one nursing per day for a while.
And it was only 3 sucks and she was done. So I gave her a little nudge
and told her "we are done nursing" one night. She smiled and said "done",
rolled over and went to sleep. The next couple of nights we had the same
conversation. Then two nights ago, she said "no nursing". I expect she'll
stop the commentary soon.

I'm only kind of sad, since I've been wanting to wean for awhile, and
she had been resistant. I'm glad we did it for 26 months, and I'm thrilled
to see her developing into such a spirited (obstinate?) little girl.

Congratulations to you, on a job well done!

Well congratulations :-). What a great start you've given Benton. Looks
like there are a bunch of 26 month olds here that recently weaned. I'm not
a bit sad. Enjoy all those long cuddles and lap time without having to drag
a body part out, Lol.

Congratulations on having had such a successful breastfeeding relationship -
but condolences on weaning! It's been such a huge part of my life since Gabe
was born, I can imagine how it will be bittersweet when (if...*) he decides
to wean!

*considering he's almost 25 months and still nurses about as much as
Barbara's Jamie, I'm thinking, not anytime soon! Sometimes I wish I didn't
have a kid who tries to pull my shirt up, but it's such a useful tool...

I also have a 26 month old that nurses that often. Most times I'm grateful,
sometimes I am wishing it would stop. It is an excellent tool, though.

Congratulations on such a great bf relationship.

Go, Jamie!!

Jamie is still going strong at nearly 25 months--he nurses 4-5 times a
day still, on average, so I doubt we'll be joining you anytime soon.
