What I did is he weaned. What did that look like? I'm pregnant right now so I'm in my nursing dream. I pregnancy did I nurse during a pregnancy that was kind of questioned and so I figured I would just sit down and I would just lay it all out for you guys and let you guys know how it's fun. So welcome back guys my name's Jamie if you're new. If you are new don't forget to subscribe down I'm in my last trimester with my second daughter but my fourth term baby and so yeah we're really excited to have another baby but that being said my son Jude is two and a half right now almost two and a half and he was my nursing champ he loved nursing and I love nursing him and we weren't in a rush to have another baby after him and so I just kind of enjoyed our nursing relationship and so to kind of make a long story short I did nurse Jude through this pregnancy but I'm pretty happy to say that we've reached a point where I am done I'm done nursing him he is two and a half and I this is the longest I've nursed any of my babies I staff nursing Jude actually or as you're a month before I had Jude and it was because I didn't want to tan him nurse I was just done my boobs were sore I was like full-term pregnant and I was done and so this time I really feel done I feel super happy that we've nursed for this long you know nursing a little bit of an older baby toddler has difficulties it's definitely difficult at times it's not all bliss but it's been a really great experience and I feel at peace to say that I'm done nursing him he has handled it okay my weaning technique is the slower the batter and I just would implement other ways of connection other ways of coping and so I started off by you know he'd asked a nurse during the day randomly and I'd say let's go read a book or are you thirsty would you like a sippy cup do you want to cuddle with me like I would try to find what's the source of that is he thirsty is he hungry does he want to connect and try to fill that need in a different way once he's stopped wanting to just randomly nurse during the daytime then I started slowly implementing a different nighttime routine um a husband started putting him down to bed and John would cuddle with him and he did he fought it for a while he really did but I just told myself he's two he has a dad that loves him that he feels safe with and um sometimes things are gonna be uncomfortable and sometimes change and growing is difficult but I really feel like I'm his mom and I know is what I know what's best for him and I know what's best for me and having daddy put him to bed and cuddle with him until he falls asleep is totally okay once he stopped nursing down he would still wake and want a nurse at night and I continue to do that and then I stopped nursing at night I just told him nope my boobies are going night night right now there's no milky's at night time I would tell him in the morning we can in the morning and so it wasn't just like a no it was uh wait until morning wait until morning and so there was like that hope and that kind of easing over and I would nurse him still in the morning time the last nursing session that we cut out was our morning nurse which was um one of my favorites because it was first thing in the morning and he just wanted to be close to me and bad that was it just was a special time for him and me in the morning to you know you wake up and you've got your baby and they've got the cute little morning face and and um I will miss that I definitely will miss that closeness but he still likes to snuggle with me in the morning but that was the last thing that I cut and um and he so he was ready I had on the key new he was ready but he was ready it was slow and it was comfortable I didn't do anything shocking to him we talk a lot about how angry it is gonna nurse I don't think he has any idea really what that is going to be like but I hope by that point um when she is born that he isn't enough um away from it and detached from that he does okay so that is our journey as far as weaning jude goes if you have any other questions comment down below please and I would love to answer them or talk with you in the comments thanks so much for watching you guys I hope that you are doing wonderfully and I will talk to you later bye
