Thank you.. my daughter turns two this month and I’m just tired of nursing.. I feel awful for feeling that way but it’s exhausting and a lot on me physically. I appreciate this video💕
My daughter is 20 months old and I’m Overwhelmed as well by it.. it’s like her comfort she constantly wants it lol and she’s super attached to me and my husband calls her my third breast lol
Til 2 na you buggin! My girl 11 months now! And i am in hell! I wish i didn’t start breastfeeding feeding at all they way my kid acts! Good luck to you even tho that was a year ago lol
This video couldn’t have come at a better time. My last baby is 19 months and I’m ready to quit breastfeeding but she’s so addicted. 😫 Thank you for this!
It's sad that people have these strange beliefs about breastfeeding. It's even worse when health professionals give you a weird look when you reveal that you've been breastfeeding for 2 years 😔
I stopped feeding my 1st child at 2.5. I think when you are a first time mum it can be hard to imagine mothering without breastfeeding and what your relationship will look like without it. But as we cut back I found it SO nice to just be able to have cuddles without the expectation of milk as well! I feel like it strengthened our bond even more somehow. But Emily you are right it is super emosh!!!
Thanks for sharing this Polly, I am in the process of stopping breastfeeding and experiencing exactly what you stated but I look forward to the new state of my child and I's relationship.
Thank you for this... my son is 23months today... am sooo ready to wean him.... but I feel sad coz he wants to feed and when I refuse, he cries.. making it even harder.
I did get a comment over the holidays from an in-law "he is STILL breastfeeding?". Well...umm considering that my son is only 8 months old & also that this comment came from someone who has no kids. I think when she said that she saw the scary mummy look in my eyes & slinked away. I didnt even have to respond. Why women feel the need to police other womens bodies (even if they cant relate) is beyond me🤔
Ugh!! I know!! So frustrating. My baby was only 6 months old and my sister in law was already asking me if I started to wean him. So sick of people's comments. It's such a personal thing for you and baby person need to stay out!
Nina Marise I agree it’s frustrating and angers me lol. When my son was 8 months my MIL asked is was still breastfeeding 😂 and she gets freaked out when I say I’m gonna breast feed till he’s a year & a half or two years. Smh
I just love how kind and gentle you are with other moms! I wasn't able to breastfeed my first, but plan on trying with our next (when it happens). I love that I can always come to your channel to feel empowered, THANK YOU!
I wasn’t able to breastfeed until my third! But we were super successful with him and he’s now 15 months and still breastfeeding! So don’t be discouraged because you weren’t able to the first time ☺️ I’m glad Emily posted this because I’m having trouble weaning lol
I didnt breastfeed my first child due to complications and now with the second one I had troubble stopping. Stopped recently when he was 20 months old. I vowed ro myself I would breastfeed if I ever had a second one and so I forced it. I dont know why maybe because I thought it was the right thing to do but if I look at both of my kids there is nothing NOTHING that sets them apart that says he is breastfed but she isnt( she actually looks like she was fed more🤔🙂)
I just stopped nursing my 20month old son. It was one of the hardest thing Ive done( esp seeing him want it so badly) but it became too much for me because it was kind of getting out of hand. He wanted to be comfort fed everytime he saw me sitting down. Thats how I knew it was time
Fatuma Mukhtar sounds like me last month! I stopped feeding my 21 month old daughter last month. I was planning on stopping at around 2 but I got fairly ill(while pregnant with my next child) and I had to take antibiotics. It was rough, I was not ready emotionally. I’ve tried EVERYTHING, and what worked were bandaids.... lol yes, bandaids. I covered my nipples and told her they were ouch. There were even desperate moments when she would attempt to take them off but never could. A month later, still asks everyday about them but doesn’t attempt to reach in my shirt EVEN while sitting down.
Ash Moji reading that just reminded me of how hard the journey truly was. Nothing I did worked so I eventually asked my mom to hold him for a week so he could ‘forget’ and it actually worked because 3 days after coming back home he was breastfree even though the first day was hell on earth. He is 22 months old now and he sometimes wants to grab the boob when he wants to sleep(I dont know why but I allow him)🙂 the struggle
I have even applied a very bitter tasting herbal medicine over my nipple. It worked for 3 or 4 days at least in the morning . But now it doesnt work... he cant sleep without feed.
Sooo glad to see this and also read the comments! I am breastfeeding my son (third) and he is now 15 months and lots of people a commenting that he is too big. They are not to decide for us but it makes me uncomfortable and I was beginning to think I was the only one still breast feeding after 6 months 😏 (The recommended minimum limit in Denmark) (Side note; our son is very long. 56 cm by birth and 82 cm by 8 months, so people think he is older than what he actually is and I think that is why they have the nerve to comment)
Winnie N. I never understand why people question breastfeeding mums so much, to me it’s like questioning a non smoker on why they don’t smoke. Breast is best but some people make us feel like we are trying to poison them or something 🤷🏽♀️
I am surprised a smart country like Denmark would say 6 months. Far too soon (in my own opinion), if mum's can (obviously not all can, it's very induvidual) continue it's wonderful.
Lauren Fry Well what’s said in the comment is not true. The official recommendation of the danish public health is to exclusively breastfeed your child until AT LEAST 6 months and continue breastfeeding along solids until the child is 1 year or older. Just to clarify and not let false info spread.
I say 6 months seems too short if the situation allows, I think it’s a good way to bond etc., I see no problem... Don’t worry about ppl commenting, it means your son is healthy and well. My daughter has been 99 percentile of her weight and always been big but she is also rarely ill. It’s a good thing.
Such a timely video!! I only stopped feeding my 2 year old daughter last month and it was emotional! We timed it for when my husband was holidays and could do the morning routine ( because I think my daughter and I loved the morning feed!) I did notice I’ve been extra tired, and I think my body’s hormones are still adjusting, and my daughter can be a little extra cranky after her nap, but other than that we’re ok. I will always miss breastfeeding because it was such a rewarding and beautiful experience.
I just found this video and it was so helpful- my 14 month old son decided this week that he is done nursing and I wasn’t prepared. It has been emotional, but I’m thankful that it was on his terms and it wasn’t a fight. Thank you for your great videos!!!
This upcoming generation of moms is so lucky to have you! I'm not sure if I'll have any more (2 boys now). You have so much information and you speak so openly and eloquently.
From another long feeding mum to another, well done!! I think its great you managed this long. My girl was also 2 in Sept, i was planning on stopping then, but when she turned 22months, she stopped by herself! 😥 x
Thank you so much for making this video Emily. My son is almost 17 months and I adore breast feeding him. I can’t imagine not having our special time together. Your concluding video on you own personal journey of breastfeeding is just what I need to help me... when the times right for us! Xx
I breastfed my daughter until she was just under 2. Daddy payed a big part in our change, defiantly recommend getting someone else to put your toddler to sleep, worked a treat for us! Love you videos emily keep up the fab work!
I’m really emotionally and physically stressed! I don’t know how to wean my almost 2 and half years old son! He is the most stubborn baby.He won’t eat,he is so dependent to my boobs.He is my second baby but he is just so difficult.Sometimes I just want to disappear 😩..He nurses to sleep,and he still waking up a lot in the night and looks for boobs.He made me decide no more baby 😩! I tried weaning during the day but he won’t nap until he gets to nurse but the night is so difficult.
Mama everything you said i just freakin related to this comment is me rite now my second son hes almost 2 😣😭 and doesnt leave my boobes alone he cant sleep without them everything u said 😣
Idk if you are still trying, but mine is almost 2 and we worked on night weaning first. Highly recommend the baby sleep site on how to night wean. Then tackle day weaning next! (Still working on the say weaning part, definitely not easy)
Great video... I stopped feeding my daughter at 21 months as I’m pregnant again and wanted a little break before I start again! I actually just talked to her about stopping and then one night asked if she would like milk in a beaker and a story and she said yes!!! Couldn’t believe that she then went to sleep! I was a bit upset as I thought it would take ages so I was really emotional!! X
I weened my daughter completely off of nursing last month and now keep 12 month+ formula on hand so that if she goes off food for any reason i know she will get lots of nutrients...it just gives me that extra peace of mind
Thanks for the tips!my boy is 17months now and as much as I love breastfeeding him it’s now taken a toll on my body I’m losing too much weight and miss having my own space
I had that when I made the choise to breastfeed my daughter and I'm so so so glad I stuck with it and didn't allow myself to give up with all the negativity I got x
Your video helped a lot ! Thank you loads ! And yes. People always talk negative. My first baby was formula fed and people were talking negative. Second baby is breastfed and people r still negative about why I’m not weaning off!
This was an extremely helpful video! First time mom of a 19 month old who just won’t budge on getting away from breastfeeding. Love the milk and banana smoothie idea, definitely trying! 💛
Love that you're making extended breastfeeding videos! I breastfed my first for 21 months and stopped because I wanted to get pregnant again and didn't want to nurse and carry a baby at the same time. We also stopped very gradually, dropping feeds slowly. The last feed before bed I dropped by reading her two books instead of one. She loves reading, so that went pretty smooth. So that's my tip, replace it by something else that helps you bond! Baby nr 2 is now 2 months and most likely my last baby (😭), so let's see how far we get! I'm excited to be on this breastfeeding journey again, although it's hard sometimes.
My babe is 22 months & I’ve been doing the don’t offer, don’t refuse and we were doing so well! But then holidays came & she got a bug. So we’re back to square one. But I’m still grateful we can nurse during times like these. Just be patient & gentle on your babe mamas.
Im so happy you made this video. So often people are too afraid to talk about extended breastfeeding. We started weaning last week and we are down to the night weaning which I know will be the worst for us he is also over 2. Unfortunately do to my husbands work schedule i am usually the only one able to do nights so its going to be a tough one and Im dreading it.
Read a brilliant article about night weaning. It basically said from about 18months, they can understand ‘no milk until the morning’ or whatever language you use for boobie 😊. Tried it at 16.5months and it worked so well. She woke up a few times for a few days but I’d just tell her not Milkies until the morning and rock her back to sleep and she went from waking every 2-3hrs to 8hours within days and was sleeping through the night in just over a week.
megan morin stay strong ! I imagine the night was going to be so hard on him but when their ready and your consistent it’s not that bad. It’s mostly our fears that makes us worry so much.
vanessa aguilar thank you for your encouragement. Tonight was the first night, there were tears but not as many as I thought there would be. It's definitely been my own fears that have kept me putting this off.
megan morin Stay strong!! I used cold cabbage all day even at night it help calm the pain. I tried different thing with my son like songs, books, hugs and kisses for bedtime until he liked something other than my boobs lol Now he knows the routine so well and bath, pjs, book and hugs works every night. Stay consistent it will work
Aw this video makes me so sad. Stopping is going to be so emotional, I can tell already. My son is 12 months next week. I wonder when I will start getting ‘the comments.’ My mother in law just asked yesterday how many times I fed him each day, I guess it has already started! Great video as always. Thank you ❤️🙏
I do not have children and am well past child bearing age, yet I still love watching your videos, including ones like this. You have such a lovely voice and seem like such a lovely person I can't help but watch.
So so great to hear your tips. I’m breastfeeding my son 2.5 years old and also my 7 month old daughter and I’m planning to let my son self wean as I feel like it will be hard to wean him while I’m still breastfeeding her. Thanks for reminding me that there are other people out there who do extend their breastfeeding beyond a year! Xx Can I also just say - I think that even if your child goes past the age of two/three/four... and you see people around you talking about weaning you should still just do what is best for you and your child! ❤️
Thank you for making this video and normalising extended breastfeeding ❤️ This is just what I needed as my little girl's approaching two and I'm feeling ready to start cutting down ☺️
Emily, your viewers are very lucky to have a wonderfully loving mother like you,to help at times like these.You do tackle some big issues and always in a way that makes it seem doable. Thank you for putting your family and yourself out there in some ways others couldn't.
It's like you knew I needed this video! I start full time work this Sunday and am so lost as to what to do! At the moment the longest she's gone is 4 hours during the day without a feed. Now I'll be out the house for 9 hours I'm freaking out about what my husband will do. I express once a day at night so there's no way I can supply enough for two/three feeds. I know he will need to cut them down...But it's so hard and I guess the main struggle is admitting that work is bringing feeds to an end ☹ she's 11 months old so pretty much ready to cut them out. But yes..emosh!!! I think it'll make me unfortunately even worse and cling onto our morning and bedtime feed!!! 😂
I understand you 100% My baby is 16 months old and he want to be breatfed like aaaall the time! If we are busy during the day he doesn't care but when we are all day home it's very hard not to breastfeed.
Oh my goodness thank you! I love this video and I’m so happy to hear you say that it’s emotional and to wait until you’re ready. I needed to hear this today. Thank you ❤️
My son is 21 months and still breastfed. I plan on making it until 2. I have tried weaning a few of the feeds but this little guy won’t let go and it’s so hard for me too. As mothers, we are comforted knowing our babies are comforted. It’s going to be very difficult for me emotionally to end this journey. The bond is indescribable!! Good tips, Emily!
I have breastfed all 5 of my children but my youngest son is not willing to give up his before sleep feed at bedtime and milk in the middle of the night I am finding it super hard
I breastfed my son till over two and got so much grief from everyone. Each baby and toddler is different and my advice is don’t bow to pressure do what feels right for you and your child. Reducing feeds gradually and as you say going for the morning feeds and leaving the evening till last. It’s such an emotional thing x
Ana Blogs so true but they really do. I actually found other mothers to be the worst. I even had strangers comment on that he was to old to be breastfed 🙄
I have a 16 month old that has always refused the bottle from week6 and has a significant feeding delay (will only have a little puree with a lot of hard work). I also work full time. Even my closest friends give me grief as to why I still breastfeed. They think "oh if she's hungry enough she'll eat". Obviously not true. I'm gone 10+ hours a day and let me tell you she does not really eat. I didn't start out wanting to have extended breastfeeding. However, what am I supposed to do? I'm the one up at all times of night to feed and then working all day, so why are my friends the ones complaining?
navia rex that sounds stressful and having friends adding to that stress doesn’t sound very supportive. I would ask to be referred to a paediatrician. We found them very supportive when my son wasn’t eating. There is hope he didn’t take a bottle but would a Tomee Tippee cup. Hang in there x
@@FoodieForce I know! It's like we are each other's worst enemies. A lot of women have to rethink the way they treat other women. We really don't need the extra pressure. My mother breastfed me for one year, but because my father insisted, then she had two sons from my stepdad and they only had weeks of breast milk. When I told her I was going to try for two years she told me that was way too much and he would be too big by then and I wouldn't manage. Today he's 21months old and when I feed him in front of her she says nothing but I can tell she's holding it in. My baby, my rules. My siblings are always I'll, I'm hardly ever I'll. That simple fact should be enough to convince her, but no. Not even the fact that the World Health Organisation says you should do it for at least two years.
when you ween them off how do you soothe the pain and discomfort? like I am so nervous to just be walking around with huge rocks as breast in pain that will never go away lol
I felt so sad when I stopped feeding my daughter. She is now 2 as well. That was my personal bonding/cuddling time that I had with her that only I could provide.. I miss that.
We reduced already breastfeeding in the day and to go sleep as well(only night time left) and my 16months old wants more cuddles than ever. To go sleep he holds my face. I was trying to escape a few times today and as soon as he noticed I am not there he was crying but when I was breastfeeding him he kind of didn't care, had his milk and than when was done was turning away. x
My husband is sceptical about extended breastfeeding. My son is 10 months and he shows no signs of stopping and I'm thinking about letting him self-wean. We will see how it goes. Really hope my husband comes around to the idea because it really is the best option for our family.
This video couldn’t have come at a better time! My little girl will be one in a month and I am trying to put together a weaning game plan. Like you said, I feel so torn between wanting my body back but not wanting to give up that intimacy. I don’t want to give it up completely but I do want to get it down to just breastfeeding first thing in the morning and before bed. Thank you so much for posting this video! ❤️
Haha I just said “it’s all gone” and that was that they cried and begged like 3 days to a week before they finally got the concept. I’d be sore for a few days doing it this way but “weaning” slowly or dropping feeding in a scheduled way just didn’t work for us as it was on demand. I nursed all my kids on demand until 16 months (and then was pregnant with the next) and said sorry but I’m done I can’t with the fatigue and nausea and the nursing you. I have a 5yr (almost 6 year old) a 4yr (today’s her birthday 😭😂) and a 18 month old and am 3 months pregnant. Most important thing do what feels best for you both.
Ive got an 18 month too and im 10 weeks pregnant tday! Love finding people i can relate with on this💕 im pregnant with twins this time around tho so any tips?
That's so awful! If you breastfeed your child you aren't just food to them it's comfort and to take that away from them suddenly because you're 'done' is cruel. I hope nobody follows this advice. It's not only dangerous for mum as it's sudden and can be painful but it's also a selfish thing to do when it's all your child knows!
Great video Emily. I was looking for something like this when I was stopping breastfeeding and couldn’t seem to find anything so this will be so helpful to people x
I’m glad that you made this video... I recently stopped breastfeeding at 13 months, and she’s pretty upset about it and always touching my breast trying to drink. My daughter is lactose intolerant so can’t give regular milk, soy milk also makes her skin react and seriously I don’t know what I should do... I’m using pacifier instead (she really likes it) but it started giving us another issue as she falls asleep with it and wakes up when it’s out of her mouth at night- which is a lot of times... We’re both walking zombies as were busy putting back the pacifier constantly at night... The transition hasn’t been smooth...
Soy milk is not good for human consumption, especially in women. Its a hormone disruptor. Try almond milk instead. Even coconut milk. Make your own milk. Good luck its hard being a momma but I'm sure your doing amazing.
Just a few questions, How often where you feeding prior to stopping? When did he sleep the whole night and cut the night feed? I’m so proud that a public figure like you is acknowledging extended breastfeeding
Omg Emily you are the best! My little baby (his name is Caleb 😂) he’s 16 months but I just moved him out of my room and he’s in with his brothers so hopefully that helps, I’m just so tired in the mornings before going to work and that’s why I want to wean him off. He feeds all night. Love the banana smoothie hack!! You give the best tips and you always manage to make a video for what in need the help most at the time lol Do you have an “how I edit/shoot videos” video? I’m trying to get more videos in my page but I feel like it takes me a long time to edit and get them up! Anyways sending love from California 🥰
Hello, Emily! So emotional video. I’m breastfeeding my baby boy and I hope it will last for a long time. I love the way you show your feelings for children 😍 I’ll be back to this video again when the time will come!
I weaned my boy at 20 months! I miss it especially when he’s sick though because like you said, I knew he was getting something nutritious to help him get better.
Good timing! My little guy is 13.5 months. Planning to get through cold/flu season for the next couple months and then start the weaning process. Thank you for sharing your tips!
Hi Emily, love these kinds of videos. I definitely felt pressure and stopped breastfeeding my first son at 7 months. I wasn’t ready at all. I’m currently 30 weeks pregnant and hoping to do it longer this time. It’s such a shame how judgemental people can be. I just think it’s whatever works for you. My sister has a 6 week old and is bottle feeding and I no she’s felt pressure to breastfeed. You can’t win. Well done for doing it for so long. By the way I love my new planner so thank you for that xxx😘
This was a good video. Some of the stuff you suggested is what I have read up as well. It's so hard. My daughter is just over 2 and still going 😅 hopefully start weaning soon.
thanks for this video! i appreciate u acknowledging that it can be quite difficult for a mom and the pressures that we get from others, etc. i also regret stopping as early as i did with my son and hope that with my next i will be able to do it on my own terms when i feel more ready.
Thank you for this video ! All your tips, like always, are spot on ! Best thing for me was moving my daughter directly from breast to beaker and I was only able to do that by learning through your video 💕
Perfect topic for a video. My son is 18 months old and know it won't be too long before we should kick it. I just got mastitis and so I am worried about that, I only breastfeed a few times too. I just still produce so much.
So I got to the bit about 'make sure you are ready' and started crying. Don't think I'm ready yet, lol! Thanks for your video :) My toddler is 15 months and I'm loving feeding him.
This video is great. I'm on day two of cutting nap time feedings out. My daughter needs me to go to sleep. I stopped pumping 10months ago. My daughter is turning 2 in January and I'm 19weeks pregnant, due date 3-25. Thank you for your help
I just recently went cold turkey 2 days ago my son will be 3 years old on june 28th. I tried to wait until my child was ready but I doubt that time was ever coming lol so I finally made the decision to do so. It’s actually been fairly easy when I tell him no he has a fit for two seconds then moves along. Now I’m starting to think it was me lol like Im feeling my baby boy is really growing up now I’m going to miss our bond. But ladies take it from me DONT LISTEN TO ANYONES OPINION ABOUT YOU BREASTFEEDING NO MATTER THE AGE MAKE SURE YOUR READY TO STOP ON YOUR OWN WILL. #powertotheliquidgold
Awesome vid as usual. You helped me a lot to choose extended breastfeeding for bubba and I, thank you. Now she is almost 2 and I am planning to wean her, I needed this video :)
I have been hoping you would post a video Ike this! My son is only 9 months but I know this will help when our time comes! Love your videos, I’m hoping to get your planner soon!
Watched this with my second son, hes now 7. Watching again to wean my third son who's just turned three. V helpful. Have you a link for your bf weaning throughout the night please? X
It’s sad that a lot of people are commenting that people were rude to them about breastfeeding for so long... when I tell people my 7month old is still breastfeeding they congratulate me because it’s not something easy. It’s tiring and not everyone can do it. I will probably continue until he starts eating more. 💕
My son is 2years and 7months and we’ve just stopped breastfeeding and I was so not ready 😢. I’m pregnant with our second child and the hormones have caused my milk to dry up. Im very sad about it and was hoping I’d be able to breastfeed all through my pregnancy and tandem feed once babbas born😭. It’s such a lovely bond to have and I miss it so much. I’m glad my son is such a cuddly boy and our relationship hasn’t changed because of stopping. Hoping I’ll be able breastfeed this babba too xXx
What a journey! Congrats on all those years of breastfeeding your beautiful boys, what hard work! I’ve just night-weaned my milk thirsty, boob obsessed, cosleeping 16 month old who was still waking 3-7 times a night. It was so difficult for me to separate and make the decision for my own health! I hope we continue our daytime feeding for several more months, but for now we are all sleeping the whole night! WOO! One thing that really helped was explaining to my son that we don’t nurse in bed. He could definitely understand me and see me pointing to explain where we nurse and where we don’t, and he accepted it with minimal frustration, as long as dad was involved. 🙂 happy boobing, mamas!
Stephanie Eckert this is very interesting, could you write please how did you involve the dad and explain? I'm having the same nighttime pattern and I would love some sleep :)
Hi Elena! I have always nursed my son to sleep, but he also uses a pacifier once he’s done nursing. So our first ate was for me to try laying down beside him with the pacifier in, but not nursing. He didn’t respond well and cried for a long time, so we only did that for half a night. Then the next night my husband put him to bed after nursing in a chair outside with me, and that was better! He didn’t really cry much. I also slept in another bed somewhere else, so when my son woke up, only my husband was there to comfort him. He usually cried for about 1 or 2 minutes then went back to sleep. After a few nights he just stopped waking up! Now I’m able to put him down by nursing him in a chair outside the bedroom, then taking him in and laying beside him. He doesn’t cry. Sometimes he wants to nurse again but I explain that we don’t nurse in bed and we go out to the chair again. Sometimes I have to do this 1-3 times before he realizes it’s too much work to get up and go to the chair, and he just falls asleep beside me in bed without nursing.
Thank u. This has reassured me as a first time mum , now that i can prepare better and its on our time not the breastfeeding police. Xx I will use the tips also as my little one is only 14 months old Xx
Thank you for this video! Been feeling emosh thinking about stopping soon at 17 months .. originally i planned on stopping at a year but i have found that i am a lot more attached to breastfeeding as much as my baby .. so my new goal is stopping in the next month or two .. this video helps because not a lot of people talk about the mom's positive feelings towards breastfeeding, thanks!
I sometimes get the urge to breastfeed my two year old if he’s upset 😝 he kind og weaned himself off at 18 months. I only did the morning feed in bed and then he stayed the Night at his grandparentd and never asked for it again. I was just happy we didn’t have to go through a hard process 💃🏼
Good for you Emily you should breastfeed for as long as you want because you know what is right for your baby😊 I enjoyed this video and you look amazing😍
Omg this video could not have come at a better time !! I’m planning on stopping breastfeeding my 15 month old in the next month or 2 and I have no idea how to go about doing it lol Thankyou Emily 😊
Thank you Emily for the tips, I’m still breastfeeding my 9 month old son and I am in the process of weaning him, only because I have to go back to work in a few months. It is very hard because neither me or him are ready 😞 I think it is such a lovely bonding time and I wish I could continue... love you videos and your positivity! 💕
I think this is a great video! We're at 18 months with my 3rd and she's winding down now - just has a 5 minute feed at bedtime. I wonder how much longer she'll stay interested!
Very helpful video! My baby is nearly a year and people ask me ALL THE TIME (even those people who don’t know me that well) when I’m stopping breastfeeding. It does make me feel like something I shouldn’t do but I just answer and move on with my day ignoring them! Xxx
I'm feeding 🍼🍼. (Dont have the breastfeeding emoji) my son in bed as I watch your video 📹. Its reminded me of the importance of being CONSISTENT like you said.. 💡 light bulb moment. He'll be just turning 7 mnths. But more importantly I am dreaming of all the things I am going to write in your planner the suspense is killing me. Waiting patiently for Mr Postee Lol 😁 😁
Same here... It's challenging. How's it going for you? Any tips? Mine is 32 months and it's getting so uncomfortable because a lot of times she just plays and I don't like getting upset with her for it, but I do. It's so irritating now. PS: I am a single mum, so I think that itself is a challenge when weaning.
Nice video, and helpful tips. My daughter just turned one, and I'm ready to wean her. The emotional bond is still their through breastfeeding, so it's kind of sad. But I need to.
So my kids are 10 years apart my son has cerebral palsy so he struggled latching on so I couldn’t breastfeed him due to weakened mouth muscles. However when I had my daughter I decided that I was going to commit to nursing her and we are now 15 months strong. My goal was to nurse for the 1st year however I enjoy it she does also and it helps settle her down but I’m trying to figure out how to go about this because I know it will be emotional for the both of us I just don’t want her to be upset. So thanks so much for this video
Where is your great toy storage from in the background? God knows, I need one of these! Thank you also for tips on stopping breastfeeding. Not ready yet with my 12 month old but will come in handy when the time comes.x
