Weaning: Day 1

I realize that I won't be able to schedule this whole weaning from breast feeding thing, but I had to make it start sometime. I started today. I set some goals. I am fairly certain we are expecting new teeth. Any day. Any minute. They are right there. All three of us were awake from 3:30 to 5:30 this morning. I cannot withhold comfort so we are starting off on the wrong foot.

I eliminated the nursing before his first nap. While somewhat unintentional, the morning nap was skipped. Lunch was unhappy. Somewhat because our sleep schedule is all off. I can't decide if I should concentrate on NOT nursing him to sleep and then dropping the sessions or drop them and deal with a not sleep trained baby. I mean big boy.

I am hoping he will self wean. A mom can dream, right? Even if he did decide to boycott the boob, I would be crushed.

Growing up is hard to do.
