Weaning out Olivia
I have sore nipples feels like the same when I first started BF.Anyway I asked Olivia to skip nursing today kindly.Explained her that it hurts.She looked at me and my nipple and said .
"No I will cry " I asked "why will you cry" She said "I will cry for nursing.After you give me goodnight kiss ,I will get up and ask for meme again":-))
I told her"You can skip it tonight and nurse tomorrow morning again" She didn't say anything .I just went ahaid to dress pyjamas.She said" I want you to skip Kanga washing Piglet pretend play and play swimming pool instead" ( She was trying to use word skip proudly).I excepted it and we played as much as she wanted and then red Peter Rabbit ( she loves it on these days).
Then I turned the lights out and with the night light started singing "You are my sunsine "for her.I was kissing and petting her hair.She was about to cry and said"I want meme and sleep,I will cry for that" I just kept singing and kissing her.When I said" You never know that ,how much I love you (part of the song) " Olivia asked me"what did you say" .I repeated"You never know that how much I love you" She looked at me seriously and said:
"Please don't sing it as you never know how much I DON"T love you " :-))))
I said"No I won't" Because I love you and I always will.She gave me a nice smile.
She went to sleep after singing by herself in her bed.Didn't get up or cried at all.
I am planning to stop nightime nursings like that.Then morning and naptimes.But not decided which one first yet.Lets see.
Morning time would be hard for me ,because I love when she comes to our bed and cuddle with me while nursing. I feels worth leaving my job just for that time.
If I stop naptime nursing ,she may ask for and also may stop napping.Right now she is napping 3-4 hours which gives me great freedom:-))
Let's see.

By the way yesterday whilwe watching her W de Pooh dvd ,I noticed that she was about to cry,her eyes full of tears.
I went next to her and asked
ME: "Olivia what is the matter"
Oli: "I am sad and will cry"
ME:"Why are you going to cry ,do you know?
Oli:"Because Piglet is alone"
(Piglet was lost,walking alone in the woods and his friends were missing him)
I love the way she express her feelings...
