She said no...

Big :hug: 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 :hug:

Aww, big hugs Leasha :hug:. 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 :).

:hug: 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!
hugs

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?" :rofl: hehe it was only a very short feed, so I'm still sure she's weaning herself.

Thanks everyone :grouphug:

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

hugs! :hug:

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

nawww :hug: 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.

:hug: 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! :D

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