My LO is almost a year old and has just recently started to wean himself. He seems too busy for the boob. He's got places to go and things to explore. It all seems very healthy and age appropriate. Logically, I should be fine with it -- but I'm not! I'm sooo sad. I love breastfeeding: not only does it bring us together for a little bonding/quiet time but I'm really good at it. It feels like one of those parenting things I know I'm doing well even when everything else feels far more of a mixed bag. I was honestly excited to do extended breastfeeding -- just like I was excited to do family bed -- and in both cases my child has other ideas! I know I should be happy we made it this far and that he's the one deciding that he's ready for the more -- and I am. But I'm also mourning my little guy growing up.
Anyone else have a similar issue? My mom and husband think I'm crazy...
