Its in sight, I know it is. But I'm not ready for it.

Jovie never asks for a feed anymore. She did Tuesday when I picked her up from day care and that was the first time she asked in a week. She asks by trying to undo my bra & saying "BoBo"

I've been continuing to feed her in the mornings, when she gets up I don't give her a chance to run away yet

Its hard to believe we are here... 17 months onwards. It was such a battle... the breast refusal for days on end, continuing to refuse certain feeds for months. Then at 6 months it settled. Now at 17 months, I'm the one instigating feeds again, encouraging her to feed.

She's still allergic to cows milk, we give her a cup of rice milk once during the day so I know she gets what she needs but its just the sad sad thought that I'm not totally "necessary" anymore. I could go away overnight now... not that I want too .

Anyway... my ponderings of the end of our breastfeeding relationship... I know its in sight and I know I will miss it.
