Not my infant, but my toddler. I feel like we've made it so far... nursing through pregnancy wasn't always easy but I held the dream of nursing my two together, cuddled on my lap. And yet, my son arrived, and my milk came rushing back in, and she doesn't want it. It's as if she grew accustomed to nothing coming out when she nursed, and now she doesn't want it. I offer her the breast, explaining that she can nurse like her little brother and drink some mama's milk, but she says "no thankyou" or takes 2 little suckles as was her custom during pregnancy, and is through. Who would have known that child-led weaning could be so difficult? I guess I just feel like I'm not ready, but she is.
Any words of wisdom or comfort from mothers who have been where I am now?

. I know that it can be so difficult to let that part of your relationship go.
