There are some days when I want him to quit and other days when I want him to continue for another year at least (there are many more of the latter than the former). I agree you should grieve the end of that part of your relationship (if she doesn't start back up with it) and be happy for all you gave her in terms of nutrition and comfort her first year.Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10187413324232119810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27905443.post-1154486683939280722006-08-01T22:44:00.000-04:002006-08-01T22:44:00.000-04:00Nursing is such a special bond, isnt it?

I never really understood before my experiences with the wolverine how strongly i would feel about it....how glad i am i made that choice to nurse him. Whatever happens with Miranda and your nursing you two have had an awesome start to a beautiful relationship.Lazymomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07802391849911999934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27905443.post-1154483312620469832006-08-01T21:48:00.000-04:002006-08-01T21:48:00.000-04:00I don't know if that prescription is supposed to h...I don't know if that prescription is supposed to help milk flow or dry you up, but if you are trying to get some supply back, there is an herbal tea you can drink that helps.

Kindred star...This whole nursing bit is a hard one. Kindred starting biting me HARD at 8 months. I mean, I seriously thought he'd made me bleed often. (He never did.) Yelling (many times involuntarily) didn't help, flicking the cheek didn't help, using teething gel really didn't help. I felt awful about it, considering that I had been aking so much milk that I could give the stuff away, and I hadn't even made it a full year. Oh the guilt and general sadness. I started to let him choose when he wanted to nurse, which was only in the morning for like 2 minutes and at night for 2 minutes. The day I stopped pulling out my breast altogether I'm not sure he even noticed. He wasn't quite 1 year. It didn't take me long to accept it and move on, but it's tough at first. It just reinforces that our children are individuals and can make their own choices, and will, and this is a lesson in that. (Wait till she's a toddler!) So grieve it as long as you need to, but enjoy getting your body back! (I miss having mine.) <BR/>~michelleMeesheMamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13682858904659023385noreply@blogger.com
