Weaned

I attempted to wean Julia after she turned one. However, she got a horrible cold. She was so sick, she lost weight and the pediatrician suggested to stop weaning and nurse more.

Once Julia gained her weight back, we began weaning again. I cut out one feeding a week. It took a while, but we are now 3 days without nursing.

I struggled emotionally with weaning Julia and my very intuitive husband explained it to me. He said that it wasn't just Julia weaning from nursing, I was weaning from her nursing too. Julia and I enjoyed the closeness, the connection, the special time spent together throughout the day. We both miss it, but are ready for the new chapter.
