[quote=Anonymous]Just a note in this thread for any moms looking to wean -- take care of your own health during weaning, too. There are a lot of hormones associated with breastfeeding and some people experience big mood shifts during weaning if it happens really fast, similar to the "baby blues" in the first few weeks postpartum. Make sure you are eating well, staying hydrated, and paying attention to your moods. Something that really helped me was making sure I was getting one-on-one cuddle time in with my little one to replace the nursing sessions. Even though I was SUPER ready to wean, I had weird feelings of sadness/abandonment during the process. So extra time with my baby, especially at bedtimes, helped to alleviate that. Oh, and my child weaned at 15 months. We introduced cow's milk at 1 year, and stepped down gradually until I was only nursing at bedtime, and then dropped that one as well.[/quote]
