She was a busy baby and was just too distracted by the world around her to calmly breastfeed for too long. I had planned to breastfeed for 12 months, but I have to admit I welcomed the earlier wean. <br />With this next babe, I hope to nurse for at least 6 months to a year. I am actually really excited about breastfeeding a little one again! Although, the pain of those first latches is not completely gone from my memory!<br />P.s. I have a blog award for you! You can pick it up at my blog :)Koo and Poppethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02491476932656163460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-473415657929241953.post-80885937890177582282011-03-16T08:20:42.843-06:002011-03-16T08:20:42.843-06:00With our first I wanted to at least breast feed fo...With our first I wanted to at least breast feed for the first year. However, around 8 months old he didn't have an interest in it anymore and weaned himself. I was so sad about this! But, it worked out because I was returning to school in a couple of months. With our second, she was very needy with the boob! And she used it as her pacifier all the time and it was wearing me down! She was 7 months old and still woke every three hours at night to get her feeding time in. I tried for about a month to wean her - she was not having it, she wouldn't take certain bottles, she hated formula. So, I pumped for a while and then she discovered real food and got mobile and ended up happy with her bottle. I still feel a little guilty about weaning her when she wasn't ready, but I was losing my mind with her demands about it, I started to feel trapped and stuck. I think, in the end it did us both some good. She's still a sweet cuddle bug at 2 and a half though and I am loving it! I plan to nurse any future kids we may have also - and I will continue to nurse for as long as they enjoy it (and as long as momma doesn't go nutty).Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07338441374644578659noreply@blogger.com
