More than a week ago I started the weaning process, since I saw that my son was not sleeping well, that is to say, he stopped every two hours at night to look for the breast, although it was not only at night, but also throughout the day, the truth was that he needed a break.
When I made the decision to start weaning I did it without listening to anyone, since many people told me to wait, I feel that when you want to wean is because you are no longer comfortable doing it, besides I have been breastfeeding for almost 2 years at high demand.
The time came to say goodbye to the boob, I am proud to have managed to fulfill the time I wanted and finish when I felt the need to do so; today my son has been sleeping for several nights, although he gets up earlier than before looking for food, I feel more relaxed that he sleeps what he has to sleep at night.
I'm not going to lie to you that it was easy, on the contrary, I even cried because he cried for the boob even though it was only two nights, I thought it could last longer, since several people had told me that it is horrible to wean, besides I did it with a lot of love and patience; I put a blanket on my chest so he wouldn't smell the milk and of course I hugged him so he would know that I wasn't going to leave.
On the other hand I want to tell you that not all children are the same, the important thing is to have a lot of patience and not mistreat them, on the contrary give them all the love in the world, because they feel that you are taking away something that they felt safe, my advice would be to do it when you are ready and when the child understands a little more, that way everything will be easier.
In conclusion, motherhood will always have challenges, we just have to face it and move on, that's what life is all about. Don't forget that breast milk is extremely important for a baby.

Felicitaciones por haber cumplido esa importante etapa de ustedes. El destete es un proceso donde ambos se afectan, madre e hijo, ha habido una conexión tan estrecha por un buen tiempo y de pronto hay que cortarla, cada niño lo asume diferente y tal como lo dices con mucho amor se logra más fácil.
Te deseo mucho éxito en el camino que sigue.
Un proceso bastante complicado, mi mamá no pudo destetar a mi hermana sino hasta los cuatro años 😳 Todas las técnicas que realizaba no le funcionaban, hasta que tuvo que ponerse fuerte.
Me contenta que felizmente hayas terminado con ese bonito proceso.
Saludos 🤗🤗🤗
Felicidades amiga destetar no es fácil para ambos ni para la madre ni el hijo y cada niño es totalmente diferente y las técnicas que resulta con uno puede que no resulte con otro una gran montaña rusa de emociones pero la certeza es que cuando ya no nos sentimos cómodos debemos hacer lo que creamos conveniente sin escuchar a terceros, a mi con mi hija mayor me resultó fácil pero con el pequeño fue bastante difícil y hasta yo lloraba porque ya no aguantaba más la lactancia y a la vez me sentía culpable porque él no quería dejar su tetica, un fuerte abrazo para ti y tu pequeño.
Buenas. Su post ha sido propuesto para ser votado a lo largo del día por el witness @cervantes. Un saludo
