I feel the urge to share since I can't really tell many (as they don't know we CLW). I am pretty sure my dd1 has weaned herself. She is 3yr4mo. I have been struggling with the tandem nursing since the arrival of dd2 in March, but stuck with it since I really believe in CLW. Boy, am I glad I did! It's nice to know that I was able to be there for dd1 in such a special way until she decided the nursing relationship could end. It's been two weeks since she nursed. About a week ago, she told me her imaginary child, Betty, who is five, was too old to have mama. "Five is too old for mama?" I asked. "Yes," she said, "and I am too old for mama." This coupled with TONS of questions as too why BABIES NEED mama (her little sis was exclusively BF up until a few weeks ago when she started solids). I have mixed feelings about the whole thing. I am REALLY happy (because I was ready to be back to only one nursling), I am so proud of her for just deciding to be done... but I feel a sense of saddness that she is getting soooooo independent! (But I am happy about that, too!!!) This whole motherhood this is really bittersweet!! :) Â
