I have mixed emotions and it is bittersweet but I think the time has come to wean. We are doing great with our morning and night milk sessions (with cow's milk and solids during the day) but she has taken to biting. I am not going cold turkey, but it seems we are going to have to move on to a different stage.
I just can't believe this stage will be over soon. It seems I was on this site a million times ready to quit or freaking out about something or other. The people on the site are so helpful, I really could have never done it without this support system. I guess I just want to thank everyone. This has been a challenging and rewarding journey for my daughter and I. I am going to miss coming here but it is almost sad to come if I am not breastfeeding anymore. who knows, tomorrow she could be content to feed for 20 minutes (not likely) and not bite. I just felt I needed to put these feelings into words for people who understand. This is my last baby and we just so enjoyed the whole experience. I am starting to feel like I am continuing to breastfeed for my own reasons and not hers. She doesn't cry and seems so happy but doesn't seem to give it much thought either. I feel a bit selfish so I guess that is another reason I am gearing myself toward completely weaning. ne way, thanks to all.
