Weaning the Baby

We had to wean the 19 month old. My wife has been dealing with persistent thrush and the lactation consultant finally suggested we just pump for a few days instead of nursing directly. My wife couldn't pump any milk, so the baby was essentially weaned. She's not been happy about it so it has been a rough weekend.

It happens. You can't really dictate what a woman's body goes through so you just have to tough it through the rough changes. Which is one reason I'm glad I'm not a woman. They have my respect.

It's a shame that she feels that way. My wife was pleased to get the girls weaned as soon as possible, though she continued to breast feed as well for some months afterwards. I got the impression that she was glad of the freedom when she finally stopped!

I think my wife is enjoying the freedom as well, stewy, so it's not all negative. She's just disappointed that she didn't reach her goal of two years and that that particular aspect of their relationship is over.
