Weaning herself off naturally
For the past months Lily has been breast feeding only 3 times a day.
In the very early morning when she wakes up which usually makes her fall back asleep for another hour or so, in the afternoon before her nap and at night before she goes to sleep.
Through the months, while she breast feeds, she has slowly weaned herself off.
While she is breast feeding, she feeds less and less each time.
Last night, as quickly as she latched on, she latched off and sat up wanting to just be put in her crib.
I get it, she is showing me she is no longer a baby. 🙁
She no longer needs to be breast fed.
I am thankful that I got to breast feed for 1 year.
I am thankful that my body naturally produced enough milk to naturally feed my baby. No formula ever needed. (I’m not knocking formula)
Goodbye breast feeding. It was wonderful while it lasted!
Here are some sweet breast feeding moments.

It makes me feel very whistful for the days when my babies were little. My last was 2 yrs 4 mo and I had to make her stop. I guess she didn’t want to grow up. Glad you got to enjoy it as well. What a wonderful gift we can give to our babies when possible.
