I have so much anxiety about how weaning is going to ruin the trust my daughter has in me and somehow destroy our relationship (she's 16 months). So glad to hear it was an easy process. My next step is to limit the nursing to just morning, nap and bedtime. She often likes a post-nap cuddle nurse and 5pm snack.Missahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08634851336158920798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4890586263945066515.post-43822208475918727732012-01-08T16:27:41.237-08:002012-01-08T16:27:41.237-08:00You go, mama!

She is the most independent person I have ever known and even at that age she had too much exploring to do to sit on my lap. She would fight and scream and try to get away and even bite me! It nearly broke my heart.Lily Mayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15182286135178708247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4890586263945066515.post-55811167915720201542012-01-06T12:24:58.806-08:002012-01-06T12:24:58.806-08:00I am so glad I caught a minute (on the computer) t...I am so glad I caught a minute (on the computer) to finally read this. You give me hope lady! How many nights was he taking the pumped milk out of a cup? My husband seems to think this is going in the wrong direction, but to me, it seems like an easier transition than nothing at all. I have so many more questions for you, but maybe I'll shoot you an email. <br />With love,<br />MaryamMaryam Fortunahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10858504469417622520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4890586263945066515.post-79025509135253283012012-01-04T14:54:07.634-08:002012-01-04T14:54:07.634-08:00We've made it nearly a year so far.

Turned out, it was just a fluke, and all of a sudden I wasn't pumping enough at work. Scared the crap out of me. But now we're back on track. Just wanted to thank you for the great tips that I know will come in handy... eventually. And congratulations on making it as far as you did, and on weaning so naturally. Well done, mama!Morgan (thelongbonds)http://www.thelongbonds.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4890586263945066515.post-6330524785297847262012-01-03T19:45:32.317-08:002012-01-03T19:45:32.317-08:00This brought a tear to my eye!

It sounds like you did a lovely job of it, and had a long time together building your BF relationship. Congrats on moving on to the next phase. xoLocal Honeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06930441202655008946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4890586263945066515.post-82486368110707382852012-01-02T19:52:53.184-08:002012-01-02T19:52:53.184-08:00Loving the new look!

I do look forward to having my body back, but I honestly have no idea how long we will nurse for and how I will go about weaning. Your way sounds like the right way, but I'm not sure if I will be strong enough. :-/<br /><br />Love your post and thanks SO much. <br /><br /><3xojoJordan Marie @ hottlt.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11286436578831037031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4890586263945066515.post-16623236115039277112012-01-02T04:52:13.630-08:002012-01-02T04:52:13.630-08:00I weaned at almost 15 months.

I wanted to go longer (until age 2) but I was pregnant with my second at the time and it was just too painful, that, plus I found that my milk supply dwindled. <br /><br />When I did wean, it happened very quickly. I think my daughter wasn't get much from my breasts anyway at the time so when we stopped it's like she didn't take much of an issue with it. I was sad about the end but with time realized that it was for the best. She did, I think, miss the comfort that nursing provides, so sometimes, when we would be together and she felt anxious, tired, or nervous, she would put her hand on my breasts, and that, for her, seemed enough. She continued doing this until my second daughter was born. <br /><br />Good for you for going so long! That's a great accomplishment. With my second, and unless I get pregnant again, I hope to go longer than I did with my first.Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13580525191212992829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4890586263945066515.post-72332848109133206542011-12-31T06:02:58.582-08:002011-12-31T06:02:58.582-08:00Congratulations!

My son weaned himself by thirteen months and I was so shocked at how natural and easy the transition was-he just nursed less and less while relying more and more on solids and one evening refused to nurse at all and that was the end. I never had to think out a way to set boundaries, etc., since he did it on his own, but I think your advice for the situation sounds reasonable and really great. How wonderful that you were able to nurse for so long-you have set your son up to be healthy and thriving through his whole childhood!Leah Beamonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05270576442032047675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4890586263945066515.post-69474096835355958242011-12-30T20:59:48.228-08:002011-12-30T20:59:48.228-08:00That must be a great feeling!
