For about two weeks I have been weaning off breast milk. It was a little hard to adjust at the beginning, but I think I’m getting used to it. Even before I was weaned I already was only being nursed first thing in the morning and right before bed. Then we started to skip my morning nursing, which was okay because I had my breakfast right away. Then we stopped my pre-bedtime nursing. It wasn’t as bad as I thought because usually my dinner was enough to hold me over until morning. But just to make sure my tummy is full and to make sure I get my vitamins and nutrients I have been drinking milk before bed. I usually have it in a bottle, but we decided to stop bottles too. So I have been drinking milk from a sippy cup either after dinner or right before bed and I have been loving it! Just look at the smile on my face!
I do miss the special nursing time with Mommy, but we now share our time together in different ways, like nice long hugs!
