He had previously nursed and nursed all that day without hesitation. It was the oddest thing and something I thought would never happen. </p> <p>I also had that bittersweet feeling about him weaning and even considered trying relactation with EPing a few weeks later, but got a BFP and ultimately decided not to try, since that meant I would need to be on a limited diet due DS's food allergies and I wasn't comfortable with that while growing a baby. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-think-dd-has-finally-weaned#post-1266721 Sat, 07 Dec 2013 11:12:42 +0000 Freckles 1266721@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@anbanan15: Don't you find the cold turkey bit just bizarre? Honestly, the week before she would start crying if i tested her by putting her in the crib right away. </p> <p>@boots: @Mrs. Fox: It's so strange how after telling friends you just can't wait to wean, you find yourself sad when it happens. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-think-dd-has-finally-weaned#post-1266463 Sat, 07 Dec 2013 01:41:18 +0000 anbanan15 1266463@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS self weaned cold turkey at 21 months. He was still nursing 4-5x/day and 2+ at night at the time and always always needed to nurse to sleep. One night he didn't ask for it, so I didn't offer or nurse him. He didn't ask for it the following day either and he never asked for it again. We did have some freezer stash that he got at least 12 oz BM/day until 25 mo so I'm not sure if that contributed to him not having a set back or not. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-think-dd-has-finally-weaned#post-1266454 Sat, 07 Dec 2013 00:44:58 +0000 Mrs. Fox 1266454@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh my goodness! This is exactly us right now. My son is 21 months and I'm both happy because I want my body back and a little sad that it's finally over. What an amazing journey it's been... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-think-dd-has-finally-weaned#post-1266374 Fri, 06 Dec 2013 23:04:15 +0000 boots 1266374@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love that she decided herself! Such a bittersweet thing. It sounds like you both were ready though :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-think-dd-has-finally-weaned#post-1266332 Fri, 06 Dec 2013 22:32:01 +0000 Freckles 1266332@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD is almost 20 months and we'd been on a 1x a day night nursing routine for a while now. It had always been part of her bedtime routine, and she would freak out if i even tried to put her in her crib before a nursing session.</p> <p>Well, today was night #2 where she was totally fine with me not nursing her! Yesterday, she was running around her room and when i asked her if she wanted "nai nai" (milk) she yelled, "no!" Before we sat in our chair, i said, "okay, no nai nai, remember?" and she was totally cool with it. We just rocked back and forth, i sang a few songs and then she went to bed. Tonight, same thing!</p> <p>I have to admit, there's a teeny tiny part of me that's sad. But a bigger part of me is thrilled that she did it on her own without any tears or protest. I really hope this continues!!</p> <p>For those of you who weaned later on (post 1 year), did you have any setbacks where they wanted it a few days/weeks/months later? </p>
