Our little girl is growing up! She started sleeping in her crib all by herself for the whole night. She still wakes up one or two times a night but it is getting much better and she goes back to sleep pretty quickly.
It was time to stop nursing her and so a few days ago, she reached for my shirt and i just told her, "Baby girl, there is no more milk. It's all gone." and she looked at me and reached again like, "What?" and I said, "No more, baby. All gone." And I offered her a sippy cup with whole milk and she took it and hasn't asked again...she HAS been mad at me though. I know this because when I tried to hold her she would arch her back and scream and cry as if I was hurting her. At 4am yesterday I burst into tears because I was so sad that she didn't want me at all.....Today was a little better....I have been taking over other things to do with her like I did bath time tonight so I can bond with her in other ways. I hope she comes around soon.
The pain associated with weaning is crazy. I would imagine it's what a bad case of blueballs feels like only it lasts for a few weeks. There are a lot of guys that are reading this so I will spare too many details but it sucks. * Not literally, of course, as that would help the situation). I am so desperate that I am trying the cabbage solution. Google it.
