The reason to cut it down so much was to get rid of the pumping at work which was a total pain in the ass. So, if we can both handle 3 days away from each other - and my husband can give her a bottle in the morning and at night - we should continue; now I just have to convince my husband to be a patient just a little longer...Rebhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15768568719894187436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35124868099611785.post-37453920688904939682007-05-12T14:20:00.000+02:002007-05-12T14:20:00.000+02:00Yeah maybe It'll just take a little longer, i've h...Yeah maybe It'll just take a little longer, i've heard it should be a slow process...why not keep to the plan and if after ireland she's still not settled <BR/>just feed her once a day, your milk levels will adapt to what you need after a couple of days that way you can make sure that you and her gradually wean together and it wont feel like you had to because of your trip. It will feel like a natural step. I think you know what you should, mothers always do - just lack confidence in our convictions...well atleast I do sometimes!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13142886757730440540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35124868099611785.post-37895554894735324892007-05-12T13:55:00.000+02:002007-05-12T13:55:00.000+02:00I'm probably not the best person to give breastfee...I'm probably not the best person to give breastfeeding advice - most people think I nursed my boys too long (2 1/2 years each) but...I agree with your mom, it sounds like she's not ready and if there's anyway you can work it out and continue for a while, I think you'd both feel better about it. Do you have really specific reasons for wanting to totally wean her now? You could keep a few nursings per day - once in the morning and once before bed kind of thing. I did that for a long time with the boys. I tried to think of weaning as a REALLY longterm thing. At one they both probably nursed 4 times a day. And over the year and 1/2 that followed, we slowly worked our way down to once a day. So that when I completely weaned, they were only nursing once a day anyway and it was easier on both of us. Good luck - I know it's hard.Nicolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13306228378745291912noreply@blogger.com
