On Saturday, October 8th, the beginning of weaning started, the truth is that it has only been 3 very difficult nights for both of us. I decided to wean because I already feel very exhausted even though I loved breastfeeding my son I feel that I have reached the limit, I need a little break for me, I also felt that he was already doing it to feel safe or to be attached to me, as there were days that he did not even remember her, however there were days that he spent all day breastfeeding.
The truth is that I feel good, since I have been exclusively breastfeeding for almost two years, there were terrible days, but others where I enjoyed it; this world of motherhood is like a roller coaster, but the most important thing is to know how to carry this routine with the best energy even if we don't have that energy, because if there is something we mothers know is that not every day we are going to be at 100%.
On the other hand, I want to tell you that if the time comes to wean, it is better to do it without the baby suffering, because I am not going to lie to you, my son has cried, not much, but yes, however, what I did was to pour a mixture I made with Mustard and I told him it tasted bad, as he is already a knowledgeable child, he did not even try it, so I started and so far he has not asked me for it in the morning, although in the early morning he stops looking for it, cries until he remembers and goes back to sleep.
I am not going to lie to you, it is a process to begin to take away something that for them is everything, since they feel safe; it is a lie that weaning happens overnight and as I have always said not all children are the same, there are some who leave them alone, however there are others who do not and it is necessary to do it in the healthiest way possible.
In conclusion, once they start weaning finish it because if you decided to do it is because you no longer feel good doing it and it is best to stop doing something that does not feel good, because breastfeeding is about enjoying it mutually. It is wonderful to see your little one taking the teat, look into his eyes and see how beautiful he is, even when he touches your face smiling; it was very nice to get here almost two years completed.
