15 tips on the right way to wean (for you):

Image
          I'm rarely a "my way or the highway" kind of person. Okay, let me rephrase that, since my husband (and father, mother, brother, someday my kids) may read this and and shake their heads no. I rarely give "my way or the high way" kind of advice,  it's always to each their own as no two babies are alike, no two parents are alike and we should each make decisions that are right for us and for our child. Particularly since I believe that a big part of parenthood is about following your instincts and what is right for your and your baby.         Weaning in itself is quite a hot-button issue even more so when we discuss when to wean  or what to wean to, so lets put that aside for now and focus instead on how to wean because really there are only two options - you can rip off the bandaid or pull it off gradually (unless you wait for it to fall off, but I am assuming here since you are reading this that you want to take some kind o...

15 Life Lessons Learned in the First Year of Parenting:

Image
The fact that I have a baby is a shock to my system, not because I forget he exists, or I don't adore every second I spend with him, but because I just don't feel old enough to have a baby. Let alone a babbling, toddling, crashing into things a 1 year old! The last year has been a blurry cascade of tears, laughs, pumping, feeding, trying to sleep, planning to wash my hair (eventually), chasing a baby on all four (and then on twos), and more.  But mostly I cannot believe I am where I am because my last year has been a blur of one memory fading into the next with the only constant being that "this too shall pass," whether I want it to or not. So, here I am again, with a big milestone upon me (My human son's first birthday), reflecting on the year gone by and the many many lessons I have gained with all the minutes that I have lost. Below are 15 of the life lessons I picked up during my son's first year. (For those of you who missed my older post, 20 life lessons...

12 Hopes and Fears about Weaning:

Motherhood (thus far) has been a ride filled with joy, sleep deprivation, exhaustion, baby giggles, pride and delight, but most of all - GUILT!! Balance is a universal female goal that remains evasive, as even when we are trying to balance, we are hardwired to leave a part of our heads (or at least  hearts) with our little ones. Breastfeeding on the other hand, for mothers who are able to make it through the tumultuous beginning is a source of joy and bonding (and ofcourse, pain, prohibition and frustration as well). However, it cannot go on for ever (thank heavens), and everyone does eventually reach a point where they want to move on. Not that we don't all know someone who is or has nursed a baby for much longer than is medically necessary, but this is a decision for the mother to make when she (and her baby) are ready. Below are some common fears and hopes about weaning your little one (and getting your life back!), and some myth busters that will hopefully help you feel a littl...
