She said no...

[MrsB26]

Big O know the feeling well
Byron weaned last week and although it was his decision, there were many tears from mummy (and none from him i might add)
I hope it was just a one off if you're not ready

Aww, big hugs Leasha . You never know, she might feel differently today. But if not, what a brilliant job you have done with her, you should be very proud!

I was devastated when DS2 weaned. BF'ing had been so easy with him and I wasn't ready for him to wean (he was only 11 months and I'd been aiming to BF for at least 12 months). But I guess the upside was that it wasn't traumatic for him and I never had to wean him off bottles later either because he went straight to a cup .

Leasha.

I know I'll be devastated when DS weans. It's sad when that special relationship comes to an end .

Leash - I've been getting "no-boo-boo", followed by a request for a glass of milk, followed by a request for booboo for a little while now - I think it's also that they are learning abuot saying no and making choices.
Total stopping may be a while off!
It may also be that Jazz is comfier with you working and returning home - so she's not requiring bb as comfort and is happy with some other form of "hello" from you - if that's the case then well done to you and Shel!

I feel dumb, had this massive cry and as soon as she saw me sitting down with a hot coffee this morning she ran over and said "booby? booby? booby?" hehe it was only a very short feed, so I'm still sure she's weaning herself.

Thanks everyone

(TMI - I got AF this morning, which probably explains her being 'off' her booby, as well as me being a little emotional...)

hugs!

they are growing so fast! seems only yesterday they were still inside!!! Hugs to you hun, i know il be gutted when DD decides to stop!

Hi, weaning is more of a process than an event. So , yes, she is weaning - but at her age not necessarily any time soon. If you would welcome her weaning you probably could help the process along. But if you are keen to keep going I doubt she'll be do e for a while yet
PS They all do wean eventually

[Ryatha]

nawww hun you sounded so sad in your first post then so happy in your second

Yay for wanting booby today, I hope the weaning process is nice and easy for you. Fred has just turned 10 months and I really don't want to wean any time soon. I will be crying the day she says no as well

My son started doing this months before he weaned. He'd just have a day when he would refuse it. Hopefully she's a while off stopping for good.

My son did eventually self-wean and I found it hard as it was just before 2 and I had 2 as my minimum feeding goal. The lack of control is hard but I guess either he weans and I have no control or I wean and he has no control... so in the end it's nicer that he had the control over that. But I do understand how hard it is to get your head around and come to terms with emotionally.

Doesn't sound like she's gone off booby yet, hun. My DD was down to two bfs a day at about your DD's age. And she kept going with those until 3 1/2, when I cut out the night time one. I don't know if that will make you feel better or worse!

You've done a fantastic job hun, you should be very proud!
