Hey for those who've gone through the entire CLW journey I was wondering...<br><br>
Were you ready when your LO weaned? Did you have a peace about it? Or was it a tragic and sad/overwhelming??<br><br>
DD is going on 10mos... She's not eating a ton of solids at the moment, she just got more interested in the last 2 weeks or so and she'll nibble at stuff off my plate... But the thought of her weaning in the next few months (like if she were to wean at even 16mos) breaks my heart.<br><br>
DH came home from work tonight sharing a story about a co-worker whose son when he was about 22 mos said "No Mommie I done" when he was not quite 2.<br><br>
I really really want DD to nurse till she's at least 2 if not 3...My Mom says I weaned at 13 mos but she really did push solids and I also went on strike and she gave up trying to get me back to the breast after a week because she realized she was pregnant.<br><br>
I'm not ready to think about DD being old enough to wean... I think 3 would be a good age, like a time when I could think I'd be "ready"...maybe.<br><br>
Is this making sense???<br><br>
Were you emotionally prepared when your LO was done nursing? I mean it's obviously bittersweet when they hit another "last" but I'm worried that I'll be devistated or some thing.<br><br>
ETA: I'm just wondering if babies really do totally CLW before 2 if they don't get sippies or things?? I really want DD to get my milk for as long as possible, I had horrible bouts with ear infections and allergies when I was little and I think it would have been better if I had nursed longer...Also the thought of her deciding she's "done" all of a sudden and unexpectedly breaks my heart...I would hope that I would be prepared and know it's coming<br><br><b>So Did you know it was coming???</b>
