I have taken off my harmony ball

[lilima]

I have been meaning to post this for about 3 weeks now, but keep forgetting. I have taken off my harmony ball, that I have worn since I was pregnant, and that DD held while I breastfed her. For those who don't know what it is - it is a little silver ball that you wear on a chain around your neck. It has a bell inside it. The idea is that the baby hears it while still in the womb, and it provides comfort for them to hear it after birth while feeding.

She has weaned herself, so I will no longer wear it. Instead I have cleaned it up and put it away to one day hopefully give to her when she has children.

I am a little sad that she weaned, but pleased that she did it on her own terms.

That is a very special keepsake for you and your DD

How beautiful, I was wanting to get one of these....

[lilima]

It was sad to take it off as I wore it all the time, but I think it will be nice to keep for her.

How lovely...I had one but it was a heart....I forgot to wear it after I had DS and it still had all my birth crystals on it too...maybe I should dig it out

Maybe one day she will wear it ?

What a really nice idea!!! If i have another I might do the same thing!!! I love it...
Well done on a fantastic achievement for breastfeeding DD for so long, you must be so proud of yourself.
My DD weaned herself too at a similiar age but DS is not showing any signs just yet, just out of interest sake was your DS similar with weaning as your DD???

That's gorgeous Lilima! You did so well feeding her so long but it is hard when they stop even of their own accord.

DD was just on 13 months and the last feed she dropped was the evening.

DS was 14 months, and the last feed he dropped was the morning feed.

I am glad that she weaned on her own - as it meant i didn't have to eventually push her to do something she didn't want to do

I wondered if you would pick up on that, No most likely not, Dh still says no way... a friend asked me for all my baby stuff as she is pregnant and I realised that I just not ready to give anything away...as I say never say never!!!

[lilima]

Pinny I was thinking that too - hmmm maybe you will have news for us in the near future.

You can buy them on ebay. Just look up harmony ball, or hamony bell.
