Okay, I was going to write about how she's going to be in a bad mood for a few days, the poor little thing, and that you should play her some Elliot to cheer her up (even though that probably only works for us 'cause we're NERDS!) and now I'm totally thinking about American Idol and singing that BAD DAY song about your little girl.

I need HELP!

aaaaah.

aww hun you can do it! its hard i know!! i knpow how you feel! you can do it be strong occupy her with other stuff, food anything..

Oh poor G-unit... :(

OMG- her face says it all.
How can you deny that face??

signed,
the sucker who nursed her kids forever

PS There are actually very few medications you can't take while nursing- check with your local La Leche League Leader- this weaning may not be totally necessary- so if you aren't ready you might not have to. However, if you are ready, never mind.

Stay strong, Y! You can do it!

And thanks for fixing up that little area of the sidebar we chatted about :).

I am very proud of you.

You can do it!! Keep strong!!

I am glad you are sticking to it. You have commented for a while now how much you really would like to stop. Of course, then you'd talk about how much you will miss it.

I am going to offer a tad bit of advice now, but I trust you will disregard it if it really isn't needed.
Have you considered trying to give her something to replace the Bobs? A special soft snuggly something? Blanket..stuffed animal. Something you only allow her to have while you are snuggling with her? It might help give her something new to focus on.

TAKE BACK THE BOBS!

Reclaim ownership of your bobs! Yeah, Y!

G-Unit, Two words... Boobaholics Anonymous.... it works... there's a meeting in every city... get help now before the thumbsucking starts.... cause from there it's weed and then heroin....

Oh come on just let her have em back...poor little thing.

that face. No wonder she still gets the Bobs. Those are what we call "Whorf eyes" in my house -- the Klingons only wish they could laser people with their eyes like we do when we're pissed.

Stay strong. The first few days are the hardest and if you give in now, you will never get her to relent on ANYTHING!!

Let's hear it for Y RECLAIMING THE BOBS!!!

I love that MOST OF YOU have chosen my side!

I will not give into her want of The Tittays.

(But DAMMIT, it's hard not to. Because oh my god, she's my last baby.)

Awwwww, that face! Terrific picture!

Ummm... Give them back? Are you serious? Should she start weaning G-Unit when she's 18?

Awww! What a face. Stay strong Y!

That face! It would be torture saying no to her.

She's so adorable, Y.

Oh I bet this is traumatic but you sure do have a fabulous sense of humour about it! And what a face! Gorgeous!

You are a braver woman than I.

awwww, Ike agrees with you, G-Unit. He misses his "GAH" as well. I do however, sympathize with yo' mamma and I very much know why she was crying too.

What a precious, pissed off little face. I always think my daughter is exceptionally cute when she's pissed at me for thwarting her. Not that I try to piss her off, but it does take some of the sting of her fury away when she's just. that. cute.

That being said....weaning is such a personal decision, and such an incredibly difficult one. You know we're here for you!

Thinking about you. Weaning really sucks. Hang in there!

QueenMommy that was funny - yes, weaning does totally suck. After four days she's not getting anything back, there is now nothing to give back to her. Sorry. It only took me 24 hours to dry up when my son was down to nursing for 5 minutes each night. Then I sent Daddy in to comfort him and put him back to sleep - it brought them much closer too. Distracting her is an excellent idea.

Awww, that sweet little ANGRY face! I hope it gets better for both of you soon.

Stay strong, she will be OK, when she stops that cute sad face. You've given her two years of your BOBS, this is her first NO, she is a tough one.....Good Luck, your kids are beautiful and healthy looking.

My son and I had nursing difficulties and I went through a lot of feelings about it -- my heart goes out to you, having to make this difficult decision. It's probably much harder on you than it is on her, although that little face of hers seems to say otherwise. I admire your graceful handling of this phase. *hug*

Nah. Makes ME sad, and I am not even the one going through it. Poor both of you. :(

My mum breastfed my youngest brother until he was 4. FOUR! Don't do it. That's all I'll say about that. You're doing the right thing...

Good luck!

Oh, wow. Those eyes? That nose? Her precious LIPS?

She's a cutie. Must be hard to say no to a face like that!

That picture is priceless! Best of luck!

Good Job Y! Just think - if you stick to it the Bob's might get less...well...bobbly and your Killler Aerobic Dance skills can only improve!

She is an absolute stunner. I don't envy the tantrums- but I have to do it:

Awwww.

Alright, I'm done.

Be strong Y!!

Aww, I do know what you are going through. Hello there, I am a first time visitor to your site, and I just had to respond. I too have 3 children, the last also being a surprise, and that last child LOVED to nurse. I knew he would be my last baby. I finally weaned him at age 3 1/2 years! It was really hard for a few days, for both of us, but then he got over it. For months afterwards he would sometimes lovingly give a quick little pat or kiss on my chest, and that was all, no more tears. It's been 6 months now and he still remembers nursing, and still will occassionally (not often) pat or kiss my chest (through my shirt) when we are snuggling. We are still as tightly bonded as ever! Hang in there; if you've made it this long, you can do it, and you don't want to have to start all over again, right? Congrats to you for nursing as long as you did. (((Hugs))) to you, I know what an emotional even it is.

Be strong Mommy! But that face! GAH! I know it has to be done and this needs to be it, I know that doesn't make it any easier either.
Did she seriously say 'One more"..if so, how funny is that!!!!!? Definitely tells you she knows it is over. :(

remember Y GLASS OF WINE with good memories for you not G-unit :)
and give G-unit a lovey . any lovey with your smell on it. .. a good smell ;)
.. its the smell and the softness she grown to love.
hugs tonya

oh no! Y, I know you were saying you wished she was more affected by your decision to wean her, before, but somehow I doubt it's better now that she DOES.

good luck and, on the bright side, at least she's an adorable temper tantrum thrower (shush. It's wordlike!)

OMG (as a fellow breastfeeding mama) that is so heart wrenching!!

(BTW, you're baby is just beautiful. I just linked here from RSM and I think I might be hooked on your blog. :) but anyway...)

Good luck with the weaning, good for you for sticking to it, I think I would have broke!
