Naturally weaning my two year old

My daughter and I are somewhat of a pair.  We tend to be overly dramatic with (everything) we do.  So we have two weaning stories.  A horrible weaning story.  And a beautiful, natural, gentle one.  We nursed for two and a half years.  And we loved every minute of it. Our horrible weaning story {I wrote…

still nursing my sweet girl

Nothing is better than snuggling my girl against my breast.  Her sweet skin next to mine.  Her tangled curls and sweet, soft cheeks.  And now (ah) her kicking feet and wandering hands.  She is my delight. I had to stop nursing my John when I was about 3 months pregnant with May {weaning my first born}, so…

My weaned first-born

My son is content without the breast. He no longer needs or asks for “mama”. Yes, of course, he needs his “Mama” – but this is without his sweet finger pointing or hand digging or bra unclipping. Over the last few months, John had weaned down to three nursing sessions a day: morning, before his…

Generations of Breastfeeding Joy

Breastfeeding is a God-ordained, beautiful process. And I am thankful to feed my son the way He and nature intends.  Thankfully, the support for breastfeeding in my family is abundant. It is normal and natural. It is encouraged. I am thankful for the normalness my family has shown and displayed. I only wish and pray…

My Breastfeeding Journey (Battling thrush and teeth)

I wrote about my struggles with nursing when John was just two months old in Part One. Then, I was beginning to get a handle on this joy (and sometimes task). Now, with John in his seventh month of life, I have become a more experienced, and seasoned nurser. Thrush Since writing last time, I have only…

My Breastfeeding Journey (Success with breastfeeding after clipping a tongue tie)

I never anticipated the struggles I would have with breastfeeding.  I had heard, from many mothers, of the pain and of the trouble with milk-flow.  But until I experienced what mothers go through, I was very naive to the reality.  I wanted to share my hardships here to encourage other moms who have experienced, or…
