You may remember a few weeks ago, when I was distraught at the idea of Evelyn having formula during the day because I wanted to continue to breastfeed and nurse. Well, that distraught feeling has left for seven reasons. One, that she is doing wonderful with the mixture of breastmilk and formula. And the other six are the sharp little white teeth that she bit me with while nursing today.
SO – we are done nursing. I know that you can continue to nurse through teething, but once was enough. I do not really think I am up for “gently removing her and saying ‘no’ firmly”. We’re good. Evelyn can stop nursing and start using a cup. Hello pumping. I’m going to really miss the bonding that nursing provides, but I think that big ole chomp will stay in my mind for a while.
Teeth are evil! Babies shouldn't get teeth until after they are 1! Sooo painful! But Wy had teeth from 6 months on so I just dealt with it, but it never occured to me to just pump haha!
ReplyDeleteOpps, didn't realize I was still signed into T's gmail haha!
ReplyDeleteLoL, I thought "man, T is really involved..."
ReplyDeleteLol yeah I'm your opposite Kendra. I wouldn't have powered through it, I'd have ran for the hills! Of course we stopped a month earlier (before teeth) for other reasons, but that was my set goal :).
ReplyDeleteAlso, Miss Elle, that chomp will also come back to you when she starts chewing on other parts of you for the hell of it. I've been bit everywhere, including the chest )so has Steve. The fact that you're pumping just makes it that more awesome. I'm not sure I would have for very long, long enough to wean I guess. But now, instead of nursing, I guess that time will just have to turn into cuddle and read another book time! I'm sure that's a reasonable solution :)!
Bwahahahah I just re-read what I wrote as T. Funniest thing ever!
ReplyDeleteouch!!!
