Can anyone help me find a decent book or website that can help me with the emotional aspects of weaning my baby? Most of the ones I've found keep rambling about "don't wean" Iits like they're trying to make women feel bad if they don't nurse their kids into college or something. Well hes 14 months, did a great job with breastfeeding and has gradually self weaned which is fine. He hasn't been at the breast in about a week(not a nursing strike). Anyway I'm having a tough time emotionally and I can't make it to La leche league meetings.

I understand, I was sad when my son stopped on his own, I missed it. He stopped at 14 months to, I would've gone longer, not forever but you know. It happens though I got through it after a couple weeks, I hope you do to, if you need any advice or support e-mail me!

Oh honey. Don't worry about feeling emotional, it's all part of the game. Now that you don't have that special alone time with him, you need to schedule other time. Reading, playing, fingerpainting. He still needs you - and you need that time with him.
