I’m still breastfeeding. In July I thought, I’m tired of this and planned to wean in the fall. But I couldn’t wait—when would fall come? And now fall is here, and it feels like breastfeeding has become tiresome. Yet I feel reluctant to wean for some reason. How can I handle this and wean, or would it be better to wait a bit longer? She’s already older: if she wants to nurse, she comes running to me while I’m sitting. And everything irritates me: she cries out, 'give it, give,' and pulls. In short, I catch myself thinking, enough for me, but then I want to keep going again.

Тоже было жалко, даже поплакала, но завершила, дня два погоревала и отпустило

Natalya Во сколько отлучали?

That's right. We should wait until school starts, or, even better, until university begins.

And my baby is still nursing at the breast. I couldn't wean earlier; I wasn't ready. But now we're gradually moving toward the end. Around a year and a half, I stopped daytime nursing during wakefulness. It turned out to be easy—I distracted them, we went somewhere, showed them things, and so on. Then I gradually reduced nighttime nursing to extend sleep; that went relatively smoothly as well. A couple of nights they cried; I hugged them and soothed them. Now I'm removing daytime nursing for naps; I said my breasts hurt; during the day it worked: we just hugged, I soothed, and they fell asleep. At night this plan hasn't been working yet.

I also want to finish by around one and a half years. I’m mentally preparing for it (four more months to go), but it’s hard. Because of breastfeeding, she refuses other foods, so I need to start weaning before she develops iron-deficiency anemia.
