[quote=Anonymous]I would absolutely stop. One thing I’ve realized (after 2 kids and 2 very different nursing experiences, plus seeing so many friends and family and their various struggles with nursing): the guilt is evolutionary. Before safe, high quality formula was available (pretty recent, in the grand scheme of things), stopping nursing your baby, for any reason, even for a day to rest, was incredibly dangerous for your baby. So evolution set us up with this emotional alarm that goes off, loudly, when you’re considering moving away from nursing. In 1879, this could have saved your baby’s life. Now? Ignore it, wean, and enjoy your baby. [/quote]
