Weaning my now official 2 year old, Tucker, has been a lot harder then imagined. He's addicted to my boobies and the sweet nectar God provided me with! I can't say I blame him- he's just milking it for everything it's worth! (pun intended)
Warren, my husband, and I agreed that when Tucker made it to two years I'd stop. Sheesh...what a task! Tucker nurses about 6-8 times {sometimes MORE} in a 24 hour period, STILL. Up until now it's been ok with me, I've enjoyed it, being this is the longest I've nursed any of my 5 children. But there comes a time when too much of a good thing becomes...well annoying. I suppose that's how I feel. I'm torn between Tucker's LOVE of nursing and the guilt of needing to quit because he's just getting too old. On top of that I seem to be getting more annoyed with it, too.
Of course, I won't just quit cold turkey...I'd DIE! But slowly weaning and saying no more often is what I am trying and it's proving to be very, very hard.
4 Royal Remarks:
I can't believe you have been so paitent for this long! olivia sucks her thumb and plays with my hair, sure it was cute when she was tiny and pudgy but now I can't stand the constant begging and following me around. I wish I could 'wean' her. Good luck, I think the older they are the harder it is to break their habits.
jayne decided to stop, she needed a baba because she needed to be on the move, i was holding her back, so i didn't have to deal with the weaning...
I've only made it to a year with one of mine. That was big for me and I was definitely done. She pretty much went right on to cups...we don't do sippy cups much. We'll see how long I go with the current one. You just go as long as you're comfortable, right?
Autumn your blog is so cute. Thanks for making my blog so cute today too. YOUR AWESOME!!
