How did I successfully wean? I forgot! I left my baby to the new nanny and had a 5- day vacation. During vacation, I did not bring any breast pump with me. I just squeezed the milk out. When I came back home, my baby was already asleep. He cried in the middle of the night, he hugged his nanny and went back to sleep. I was observing him as if he has forgotten me. The next day he was very clingy. It seemed like he missed my breast so much. He became more irritable when sleepy. My breast was the only thing that could tame him. I breastfed him for few more nights.
But, I just turned 40 year old last month. I feel the pressure of racing against time. I wanted to have another baby. I need to wean him completely. I hope my menstruation will arrive naturally. Otherwise, I need to take medicine but it can cause dizziness and perhaps other side effects.
Today is my sixth day of weaning. I still have milk but I don't pump anymore. I miss breastfeeding. It is somewhat soothing and occasionally aching (if bitten). Can anyone imagine being sucked by a puppy?
I'm looking forward to my period.
