More than a week ago I started the weaning process, since I saw that my son was not sleeping well, that is to say, he stopped every two hours at night to look for the breast, although it was not only at night, but also throughout the day, the truth was that he needed a break.
When I made the decision to start weaning I did it without listening to anyone, since many people told me to wait, I feel that when you want to wean is because you are no longer comfortable doing it, besides I have been breastfeeding for almost 2 years at high demand.
The time came to say goodbye to the boob, I am proud to have managed to fulfill the time I wanted and finish when I felt the need to do so; today my son has been sleeping for several nights, although he gets up earlier than before looking for food, I feel more relaxed that he sleeps what he has to sleep at night.
I'm not going to lie to you that it was easy, on the contrary, I even cried because he cried for the boob even though it was only two nights, I thought it could last longer, since several people had told me that it is horrible to wean, besides I did it with a lot of love and patience; I put a blanket on my chest so he wouldn't smell the milk and of course I hugged him so he would know that I wasn't going to leave.
On the other hand I want to tell you that not all children are the same, the important thing is to have a lot of patience and not mistreat them, on the contrary give them all the love in the world, because they feel that you are taking away something that they felt safe, my advice would be to do it when you are ready and when the child understands a little more, that way everything will be easier.
In conclusion, motherhood will always have challenges, we just have to face it and move on, that's what life is all about. Don't forget that breast milk is extremely important for a baby.
