Weaning

I've been a PW this weekend, but I am curious as to how your emotions were when you weaned? We were down to one feeding before bed, but for the past several nights, DD has fallen asleep on her own. I've been in such a pissy mood the past few days and everything has annoyed me. I'm wondering if that's another part of weaning or if I'm just hateful all of a sudden.

Re: Weaning

  • It was horrible. I was in tears 2 nights in a row and hated everything. I was very miserable for a little over a week. Hang in there.

    good to know that I'm not losing my mind. Every little thing is driving me crazy, and it doesn't help that my ILs are here. They're not bad, just some of the things they do is bad. I need a nap, but feel like I need to be up and entertaining.

    Ya, everything is amplified. Cry and step away when you need to.

  • Yeah, weaning sucks ass.  It was way worse on my mood than pregnancy hormones.
  • DS doesn't always fall asleep while nursing, but will fall asleep in my arms (i know, probably flame worthy). I absolutly love snuggling with him, and after a long day of work that is what I look forward to most at the end of the day. Well, the other night he crawled across the couch and fell asleep in MH arms, I cried myself to sleep that night. Granted I was also PMSing, but I am still not ready to wean based on that.

    Second this. Although I still have one morning session, the process of weaning her off of multiple times a day was horrible.

  • Well, I feel better knowing that I'm not the only one. I am short tempered with DH and just all around pissy. Hope my mood improves so I won't be a Scrooge for Christmas.

  • I didn't know if I was crying because I was A) Pregnant B) Away from DD for more than a night for the first time or C) Weaning....  But I had to leave a work dinner in tears to go outside and get some air. 

    It gets better.  :)

    awwww. I'm starting to feel really sad about it. I'm so tempted to see if she wants to nurse tonight, but know I shouldn't.

  • It's totally normal! your hormones are changing so much. Hang in there! A blogger (cup of jo) weaned abruptly at 8 months and went through a 2 month long depression because of weaning. A friend of mine weaned at 2.5 years and had issues for months, too. So it's totally normal. Hope yours doesn't last long! And congrats on such a long and great bfing relationship!

  • and if you want to offer, go for it! unless your'e ready to be done there's no reason to stop. If she doesn't want it she wont take it, obviously, and no harm done either way. That's my feeling at least.
