Some thoughts on Weaning
I’ve been breastfeeding for almost 20 months now. I never thought I would reach this far but I did with a lot encouragement and support from loved ones. Since B.boy will now be two years old in a couple of months, I’m seriously thinking about weaning. My dad even suggested this as he noticed that B.boy has been super attached to mommy. I never get anything done at home because B.boy just wants mommy and mommy alone all the time. Then sometimes I miss wearing my regular clothes. I miss those cute dresses that I wore pre-mommy days. But the biggest factor why I’m thinking of weaning are the unusual stares and unsolicited advices I get whenever I breastfeed the little boy in public. Then most of the time, B.boy would do acrobatics and would sometimes pull off all of the sudden causing an embarrassing exposure of the boobs.
However, the intimacy and bond that this breastfeeding relationship forged between us is the ultimate stopper of weaning plans. I know I will miss those sweet moments that we are sharing once he stopped nursing altogether. Sometimes I think it’s some sort of drug and we’re addicted to it. I think we both need to go to a drug rehabilitation. Hahaha! Just kidding! But I guess, I have to start the weaning process once he hits 24 months. I’m planning to do it slowly so that it won’t be difficult for both of us. After all at some point of his life he will really have to stop and I have to accept that too. He’s growing and I must grow up with him.
