Tess Summary of Month 14

Wednesday, December 16, 2015

This post covers Tess's 14th month of life (so she was 13 months old) from Aug 30th - Sept 30th. Nursing/Eating: This was our last month nursing. Whew. It was TOUGH on my emotions. I had been slowly dropping feedings since around Father's Day (mid-June) and had only the 7 pm feeding left this month. She was ready to let it go, but I held on until I was more ready :) And really, I could have probably kept on going even longer but I knew that going away for a weekend would be the best time to end it. Tess struggled a LOT with bottle feeding and it's because she didn't want anything other than milk from mama when I was around. I worried she'd struggle to go down to bed at night if I was home and not nursing her and I knew that it would make it harder for me emotionally to fully wean her if she was upset. It really did work out best that I was gone! That last feeding was very, very emotional for me and you can read more about it here. Our nursing relationship...
