Weaning: One Step Forward, Six Steps Backwards

Stopping anyone from doing something that has become a well formed habit, let alone something that they see as crucial to their every day existence, is a HUGE undertaking. Yet it seems most mothers are surprised by the difficulty they face in beginning the weaning process with toddlers. Its an up and down tussle that you often feel exhausted, overwhelmed and infuriated with. These little people really know how to give you shit if you don’t do everything they ask of you. Particularly around your boobies and their loving fondness of them. I applaud their intensity, their love and commitment to everything boobs, and to their tenacity to stand up for their right to suck all day, every day, oh and night too, don’t forget the night.
