My favorite time of night when she's so calm & sweet.
So, this whole weaning thing is a little harder than I thought.
Why?
Not because she's having a hard time.
Or because I'm having a hard time.
But because my boobs hurt so bad!
I went 24 hours and they were burning so I had to let her nurse.
And the relief afterwards?
Oh my..it was like...you know...
like the relief after an orgasm..
yes.
seriously.
We will continue this and see where it takes us..
but for now we are going to continue down the breast feeding path so mama's boobs don't explode!
When we were weaning I would go until I couldn't stand it. nurse or pump. Then continue to go until it was so painful. At first it was like 6 or 8 hrs, then closer to 12, then 24, then every couple days. It only went on for a couple weeks.
ReplyDeleteGood luck!
Weaning was so hard. I tried to do it very gradually but it still hurt! On another note, she is so cute!
ReplyDeleteAwe that totally sucks its painful...I was lucky enough to be pregnant again when I was starting to wean so it pretty much went away on it's own...OUCH for you!! I say rock it out and do what works for you guys!! She is so freaking cute!!
ReplyDeleteI understand completely! ibuprofen, ice packs and hot pads. It's the same cure for engorgement as when your milk comes in when you are first starting. Think back to what helped back then, and do that now.
ReplyDeleteGood luck! Ouchie boobies are the worst!
