I formyself always thought it will go the normal routine... if I can nurse until 6 months would be fine and maybe wean around 12 months... but I never thought I will be a hippie mum still nursing the child with 2? Indeed that happend, because Emmi liked nursing a lot and was slow with solids I still nurse her with age of 2, in the evenings. And it doesn`t feel awkward...I´m still quite ok.with it...maybe not until three...lets see:); I guess it always depends on the needs of the different children, even in one family the children can be totally different, so this will always maybe stay quite an adventure, a good one:)...nonibaumannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15020762101709097291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6148095178621142933.post-58473963906033610812013-07-11T19:21:09.440-07:002013-07-11T19:21:09.440-07:00i'm excited for breastfeeding but also nervous...i'm excited for breastfeeding but also nervous too!

What's not to love about it? ...Hey little sis!<br /><br />What's not to love about it? Aah, but with every child I breastfed I had my troubles.. Think you've got the hang of it and the next babe just proves you wrong. <br /><br />Babe 1: fed every three hours till he was 6 months old. And then babe 2 was on the way so I stopped at 9 months. My body just couldn't do it two at the same time..<br /><br />Babe 2: The worst thing was the way she latched, it took a month before my nipples healed. Thanks to the wise advice of a bigger sister the excruciating pain ended and the us time started. She wouldn't let me read a book while feeding at all! And you know me, I can't just sit and do nothing... Babe 2 really taught me how to just sit quietly for twenty minutes, soemthing I would never have learnt on my own. <br />When she fed less after 6 months, that's when the real fun began. A bit over a year and she wasn't interested anymore.<br /><br />Babe 3: As I worked nights and evening it was awesome that everything went perfectly. When I was gone Arjan gave my pumped milk, and so I got to stay away for longer periods at a time.<br />When I tried solids at 6 months she refused, but a month later the relaxing time started as I wasn't the sole food source anymore. Just babe and me time 3 times a day... The older kids knew not to disturb. <br />Babe 3 also weaned herself at about 13 months. It does end, you know.. :(<br /><br />But there's a lot of new things to enjoy, and a whole new world opens up.<br /><br />Enjoy it, sweet sister of mine! Love you, x<br /><br />Evelenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08604324054952972463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6148095178621142933.post-78172079893132762052013-07-11T07:51:58.128-07:002013-07-11T07:51:58.128-07:00me! oh man - i LOVED nursing my babies!!! my secon...me! oh man - i LOVED nursing my babies!!! my second one weened himself at 13 months and i cried. he refused to nurse - and moved on to total table foods. such a special time though! enjoy it while it lasts!!! you're a good momma!
