The process of weaning has begun for Emelia and I. I am slowly working on getting her to just bottles. So far things have been going well! She is taking it in stride just like everything else! I think when I change things like this, or the sleeping in her crib, etc. I become more nervous and worried than she does!
I no longer am pumping anywhere. First I cut out the work pumping session, then a week or so later, the morning one. It is such a feeling of FREEDOM! It's amazing how tethered down I felt! It is sad to not be saving and storing anymore milk up, but we have SO MUCH in the freezer, I am pretty sure it'll be just fine!
Emelia drinks bottles from me, too! I can't believe it, she never even fought or fussed about it once! It's really nice, too, because now John can feed her more!
I still nurse her first thing in the mornings, then once or twice in the evenings. Any other time of day I feed her bottles and solids. She enjoys eating the solids!! We have a little piggy!! :)
So soon my goal is to be completely done with nursing altogether and just do bottles. She really doesn't drink that many in a day anyway, so I think it will all be just fine!!
Yay for Weaning! :)
