My goal was to wean my 2 year old from breast feeding while my husband was away but I didn’t…

Oh my goodness i really hope i can go as long as you with breastfeeding.

I'm in a similar boat. I feel like I'll just be tandem feeding.

@denisse.m, you can do it! It’s really a mindset thing. There were plenty of times I felt like giving up or my milk supply was low. Once I learned how to produce enough milk, it became easy. Now I’m so over it 😩 It’s definitely beneficial though. My son never had a ear infection and he’s only been sick while teething

@wolfnurturer, I really don’t want to do that! I’m so over it. My friend is tandem feeding and she’s always saying how she feels drained. It’s definitely a lot of work. I’m pregnant now and still breastfeeding so I find myself very tired all the time

@_iamrae, my daughter hasn’t got sick yet either she’s only 4 months but I’ve seen so many babies be sick and you her than her, I’m trying to have more supply cause sometimes i feel like I’m low also if i get to at least a year of breastfeeding I’ll be so happy.

@denisse.m, Good for you! Keep it up if you can. 6 months of breastfeeding is good enough so a year would be great. Have you tried taking fenugreek? That was my go to and every time I took it, I noticed a huge difference.

@_iamrae my child is under two and I've been breastfeeding this whole pregnancy little to no issues. It has been a struggle physically because I'm so sensitive and my chest is continually going through changes. So I try to mentally power through it. I feel like I'll end breastfeeding until 2.5 though for both. I think it effects everyone different. I'm not tired outside the normal. I feel it will help with let downs and the flow of milk and also so I'm not getting all engorged.

@wolfnurturer, I feel the exact same way. My nipples are so sore so every time he latches, I cringe. I want to love the whole experience but I feel like I’ve been breast feeding for so long and I’m having a hard time accepting that I will be doing it again. I agree with you though about the let down and flow of milk.

@_iamrae I want this bond and not to feel like I can't handle my child getting these important nutrients. With the sensitivity I feel like each time no matter how many times I feed it feels like the first time. I'm half trying to wean but then I feel bad because I don't want my baby to get any wrong ideas so early and then feel like I'm detaching or something. I'm just powering through while still trying to wean some not completely. Especially because it will be two nights that we can't be together.

@wolfnurturer, I can relate! I always feel bad when I tell my son no then I end up giving in lol. I hope everything goes well for you!

@_iamrae right? Thank you. I hope the same for you too!!! We can do it. 😊

@wolfnurturer, thank you!

@sabby, how did you do it??? & yes, I co sleep which is another thing I’m trying to break lol

@sabby, ok!

@sabby oh congrats girl. Thanks. I do but not trying to break it, my child usually sleeps wherever I lay them regardless if I'm there laying too or not.
