Guest guest Posted March 14, 1999 Report Share Posted March 14, 1999 Wendi, You did not cause me confusion. No apologies needed. I am confused on my own. Originally it was someone else's decision - I just am unsure if I have gone so far now that I don't want to turn back. Thank you for your concern and information. Lori Forced Weaning I am sorry but I don't know what to tell you. I am firm in it being NOBODY'S business as to when a baby is weaned except the baby and the mom UNLESS the mom knows that nursing wilol destroy her marriage. Barring that possibility...the nursing relationship was established by God to be tetween Mom and Baby. I am posting one of the most heartbreaking poems by my favorite poet. If you don't know the history of this wonderful man and his family...he and his wife experienced the deaths of chldren, natural and adopted. He wrote in a day when the doctors were never questioned. Here is a man who knew his beloved's anquish and in a day like today would never subject her to this torture. Weaning the Baby by Edgar A. Guest Her tears are very near to-day, There's sorrow in her eyes, For they have ordered her away Whene'er the baby cries. There's little beauty in the sun However fair the day be, For now the mother has begun The weaning of the baby. No more upon her gentle breast That little face may lie, No more that little nose be pressed Against her food supply; No more by night, no more by day, That wondrous pleasure may be - This shadow falls across the way, The weaning of the baby. Oh, you may smile, but mother sighs, And now the hours are sad. She sees the look of pained surprise In eyes that once were glad, And in her throat a lump comes up That's big enough to throttle, Because her lovely babe must nup Her dinner from a bottle. Now bottles can't sing lullabies When tender babies dine, Or read the love in little eyes When eagerly they shine And so she sadly says to me: " I'll miss her fond caresses, The cuddling ways which used to be, Her tugging at my dresses. " Ill miss her cry for me at night And all her squeals of glee, Her smile of welcome and delight When she discovered me; I'll miss the tie that holds me near And long will every day be, I'm sorry that the time is here For me to wean the baby. " I am sorry to be of no comfort, perhaps this letter can be a sword to stand against the odds. The time is short. With your little one being so old, your nursing moments are limited anyway..and once gone..are gone with him forever except in your memory. That memory should be a sweet, even at the ending, as possible. Cherie ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Start a new hobby.

That way if he asks to nurse you wouldn't be refusing him, but if he doesn't he may gently wean on his own. I have noticed a decrease in nursing when I'm ovulating. My son is 29 months and I can see changes in his nursing patterns. Some days he wants to nurse alot and others just a few times.

Guest guest Posted March 15, 1999 Report Share Posted March 15, 1999 me too, me too, me too!! I was in here bawling. All of these conversations on weaning have started me thinking. Originally i planned on weaning when Paige turns a year old. Now I am not sure about that anymore. Thank God I have a very supportive mate in Andy, who is always willig to hear me out when making decisions about Paige:) He is very understanding and so commited to doing what is best for the three of us. I am very lucky and counting my blessings:) Jenn At 10:49 PM 3/14/99 -0500, you wrote: > > >The poem brought tears to my eyes.

Guest guest Posted March 15, 1999 Report Share Posted March 15, 1999 Lori, I would think you would need to pump at least twice a day while you are gone. If you don't your milk supply will probably be quite compirmised. I say...nurse away! He obviously wants and needs it. You can get pregnant while nursing as long as you have your cycle back (or even before your first period when you ovulate prior to your cycle). Just take your temp and chart it or use ovulation predictor kits to help! There are many great books these ladies can recommend too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 15, 1999 Report Share Posted March 15, 1999 I hope still wants me at 2 years. I am hoping to nurse at least 1 year and leave the rest up to him. My mom thinks it is wrong after a year so I will just have to shock her. Luckily DH is totally supportive of it. I asked him if he would like to give a bottle to him and he said for what. He is just as happy holding him and burping and cuddling him. I think he is also thinking that no bottles mean no middle of the night feedings for him *LOL* We have tried to give him one but he is adamant about not taking it. He just wants mommy : ) Sherry SAHM to (8), (4), Kaitlyn (2), and baby born 12/17/98. *Breast fed is best fed* Re: Forced Weaning > > >> >> >>me too, me too, me too!! I was in here bawling.
