I got the bottle touch :)<BR/><BR/>He is obviously thriving, but yet still totally okay and not "overly" attached to you in some bad level because he let me and Blake love on him and rock him very easily, without any distress.

I so agree that every Mama needs to search her soul and respond according to what she feels is best for her child. I started to gently wean my first around 3 yrs. In other words I encouraged him to use the sippy cup in the day (he never used the bottle) and only nurse at night. Eventually, he made the decision to wean himself around 3.4. He was extremely happy, very healthy, and has never had any dependency issue despite what some critic claim happen to babies of extended bfeding and co-sleeping. Phooey on them! lol<BR/><BR/>I plan to do the same with our second baby as well.Quiskaeyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06669432995380824321noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23840771.post-62733234236831283522008-06-23T17:51:00.000-07:002008-06-23T17:51:00.000-07:00I let Cayson wean himself and it was such an easy ...I let Cayson wean himself and it was such an easy transition for both of us.

I only stopped for selfish reasons. I...Go for it! I only stopped for selfish reasons. I was tired of his teeth. Once there were 6 of them rubbing I decided that was enough and he was one and could now have milk. Both of mine did fine when I decided when to wean them. I think if it would have been a struggle I would have put it off a little while longer. I don't think mine would have ever told me no. But gradually taking a feeding away didn't seem to bother them.The Brown'shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05565168936410424103noreply@blogger.com
