No more TFW
This might be a bit of TMI for some of you, but I don't care, this needs posting!
F I N A L L Y - we've managed to stop: Yannick has been weaned. At the grand old age of 26 months! His last drink of mummy's milk was on the morning of 1 July.
My days as a toddler feeding weirdo are over. YES!
However, I do not regret that we went on with this as long as we did - and there was certainly nothing weird about it all as it was just a natural progression. He was just too addicted to falling asleep at the boob (lucky little boy!!!) and would have not understood why we stopped if we did that any earlier. At this age I was able to tell him that mummy's milk needs to rest too and bit by bit he has learned since we were back from Germany that he can fall asleep without his favourite dummy.
There is one big drawback actually: now it is really hard to get him to sleep during the day so I think our days with nice longs naps are over too. Well, you can't have your cake and eat it.
