Wean Off @32 Months

Finally.. I have weaned off Jayden when he was about 32months. It's all started about 2 weeks ago that I decided to try not to breastfeed him at night. Surprisingly, it worked out quite well and Jayden didn't ask for milk. Perhaps he was too full as I fed him a lot of food prior to sleep. Hehe..

It went on for a 2days, and I started feeding him again as he was sick!! There were couples of times he puked after drinking oatmilk+protein (well, I have been supplementing him with oatmilk + green tea protein for almost a year now). Never really got to find out the reasons behind the pukes, maybe it's due too overeating?? Anyways, since he didn't puke two times in a row and was eating as usual, I didn't take much notice.

Then, I started weaning him off again last week.. and it went perfectly well! Sometimes he would still ask for milk but I told him that mommy didn't have milk anymore and he would respond with a simple Okay! I am gratitude!! :o)

By now, I think I have weaned him off successfully for 7-10days, I have lost track! :P Even so, I am very happy with the result and guess what, my breasts do not engorge anymore, so I assume the milk production has stopped ever since.

No longer breastfeeding my son gives me a weird feeling somehow.. I guess I miss the days of breastfeeding though it was really exhausting..

I know what you mean... it's a mixed feeling when you wean the little guy off... but I'm amazed you kept it for so long! Good job mommy!!!
