To wean or not to wean?


I have a confession to make, I've not been enjoying breastfeeding recently. I've been feeling impatient with it and almost antsy. I've been trying to distract him and give him snacks rather than a breastfeed. This isn't good, my son is bound to pick up on this and be more reluctant to feed.

So here is the big question. Do I want to fully wean my son? Because if I carry on the way I am, I am following the don't offer, don't refuse weaning method. This would be devastating for me. I've always wanted to reach, at least his second birthday. His nursing life is so short and it would be such a shame for it to end so soon.

So from now on, I will offer him milk more often, and never, well hardly ever, try and put him off nursing. I will then review this when he is two years old. Hopefully by then I will be looking towards his third birthday and still going strong!
