I'm not sure, but I think there might be a little bit of weaning going on around here. I didn't nurse him at all yesterday, and I didn't nurse him this morning. I nursed him a lot two days ago because he was a sick little guy with an achey ear and I thought it would make him feel better. I'm not at all sure that there was any milk coming out, but he doesn't really always seem to care. I think he just loves to suck. Well, I think there is a little bit of milk in the beginning of each breast but then nothing. I asked him but all I got for a reply was 'ana? nana? ama?'
He's been staying in his crib a little longer in the mornings (pu pu pu) and so I don't feel the need to nurse him just so I can get some extra lying-down time in the mornings. I don't know what we're going to do for the afternoon nap but I guess we'll take it as it comes.
I think I'm finally ready for this step now. I mean, the thought of weaning completely still makes me a little sad, but I think that he's gotten a lot out of it already, health-wise -- I'm not sure how much more there is to gain at this point though I suppose there is literature on that subject if I choose to persue it. And I guess, well, I don't know. I'm just ready and I think he is too. But time will tell.
