Oh sweetheart, I hear you, I really do.

But please do not feel any guilt. It is NOT your fault. 7.5 months is a HUGE achievement. It may not have been for as long as you would have liked, but it is still brilliant.

You never know, he may have weaned by himself at around the 9 month mark anyway.

My 3 babies self weaned (Olivia at 6.5 months, Charlie at 5.5 months and Lexie at 7.5 months). I am not sure why. Introdution of solids, introduction of a bottle too many of EBM, teeth, hormonal changes in me (through sunsequent pregnancy). Who knows.

I went through emotional heartache when they weaned, and questioned myself constantly for weeks as to whether it had been "my fault" or not. So I truely know how you must be feeling.


But be kind to yourself, and enjoy your little man, regardless.

Take care,
