UPDATE: dropped his morning nursing session?

We have now been up for almost 45 minutes now.....west coast time

J is usually all about his morning nursing session, but he hasn't even asked for it yet. I gave him a small cup of Cheerios, a sippy cup of milk, and turned on Disney junior and he is pretty content. 

I am having mixed feelings about this. I wanted to do this on his own terms, but I don't think *I* am ready for it.

UPDATE
I am nearly certain he is completely done in the morning now. He didn't ask for it again this morning, and just like yesterday, he was content with playing instead. I am very glad that it is on his terms, but I didn't anticipate that it would be so sudden. Two mornings ago he was frantic to nurse as I picked him up from his crib. We are down to just evenings now, and seeing how suddenly that happened, I have to make sure I treasure every night time with him.

Aw it's such a difficult and sad time! I just weaned M and she seems to be taking it far better than me! I'm a mess but she's good.

Even as he drops sessions and begins to wean remember that he still loves you and NEEDS you just as much as before. I feel like that is the saddest part, the feeling that they will no longer "need" us now that this part of their need is going away.

Look at him, all grown up! He's so sweet!

Thanks. That was perfect.

While this is hard you can rest assured that you have formed a very special bond with your baby that will last forever. Hugs!

Aw Momma! It's bitter sweet. Just keep reminding yourself that it's on his terms so it's ok! He looks soooo cute!
