Finally!
Yes! Finally!
My boy is finally 'off' my breasts! It is 1 year 5 months and a week to be exact for the 'breast feeding days'! The longest in my family history! Yahooooo! It has been 3 nights without the 'tasty yummy' milk from me and he is doing great. *smile*
From 100% nursing for 6 months ...
Then expressing milk in the day time if possible ...
Then cutting-off the day time supply ...
Then cutting-off the night time feeding ...
Till the before-sleep comfort sucking ...
It was NOT easy though. He struggled quite a bit. Poor him. I kept talking and telling him that he is a big boy now and that big boy does not 'drink' from mama but from bottle and cup. I repeated till he could repeat after me for the 'bottle & cup' part! (of course, only I understand what he is 'talking'). I never forget to tell him that I still love him as much. He asked for it and make that 'sucking' sound. And with me kept singing and patting him, he dozed off.
I love you, baby! Though you are a 'BIG' boy now, you would always be a baby to me and I love you, ALWAYS! Kiss Kiss Kiss!

haha, as I said : FINALLY! :P
Wow... well done! I wonder how tough it will be when it's time for me to wean off my boy as he can't sleep without mummy's breast on every night!
wonderful life,
My boy used to be like that too. But i kept telling him he is a BIG BOY now. I showed him some baby photos and them sucking from mothers. He buys the idea that he is BIG now. hehehe....
