We have gone 4 days. I am a *little* less tearful each time I dwell on the fact that it is over. She asks sometimes but takes a 'no' pretty easily. And I am loving my redbull!<br /> Thanks for the support, ladies :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weaning-at-2-harder-for-me-than-i-thought#post-1557678 Wed, 09 Apr 2014 22:07:12 +0000 lady grey 1557678@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO weaned early (9 months), mostly due to my low supply I think and I was definitely not ready. It was so emotional for me and I just obsessed over it all the time. But like Mrs. Bee, after some time I felt just fine. It was actually freeing to not think about it anymore. And awesome to not pump anymore either. But I would've still nursed him for 2 years if he wanted! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weaning-at-2-harder-for-me-than-i-thought#post-1557271 Wed, 09 Apr 2014 17:35:01 +0000 Mrs. Bee 1557271@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>that's how i felt when i weaned at 26 months. but after a little while i felt fine. now i'm glad to be done nursing! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weaning-at-2-harder-for-me-than-i-thought#post-1557244 Wed, 09 Apr 2014 17:15:26 +0000 birdofafeather 1557244@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>gah, LO has been sick so we've upped from 3 times a day, but i'm determined within the month to get to twice a day. it's hard though! i want to slow it down and don't at the same time. i'm conflicted for sure. i wish she would just not want it, but milk is the only sign she uses consistently and correctly! blah. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weaning-at-2-harder-for-me-than-i-thought#post-1556267 Wed, 09 Apr 2014 11:48:11 +0000 lizzywiz 1556267@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@oliviaoblivia: I am looking forward to upping my caffeine intake significantly so I am trying to hold onto that, but when it comes time every night to skip the feed, well,...I just don't, lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weaning-at-2-harder-for-me-than-i-thought#post-1556244 Wed, 09 Apr 2014 11:39:18 +0000 oliviaoblivia 1556244@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm there right now. DD is 15 months. We were nursing morning and night and she went from nursing for maybe 10 minutes to lingering for 40 minutes. I just couldn't do 40 minutes of nursing while trying to get ready for work.<br /> I dropped the night feed Saturday and Sunday and nursed her for the last time Sunday morning.<br /> I never imagined how emotional and attached I was to nursing her. She is definitely not as affected as I am.<br /> I'm shocked by how sad I am about it. It's not as freeing as I expected. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weaning-at-2-harder-for-me-than-i-thought#post-1556231 Wed, 09 Apr 2014 11:35:45 +0000 lizzywiz 1556231@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We were down to 2x a day, then mostly 1x (evening) and I really need to stop but I find it harder than I thought.<br /> I don't even really like nursing (don't dislike, either) so I never thought it would be hard to move on but, wowza.<br /> Anyone else been there? </p>
