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...

Hi Mamas, Ever since I was hospitalised in May and was diagnosed with chronic migraines (the medicines made me wean my daughter overnight which many may have read in my post on the ways to wean ), something that has been trigged by interrupted sleep of all things. I realised that I can no longer go on ignoring myself and my own needs endlessly. This has not changed the way I parent in any way, I am just as hands-on, working as many hours (maybe more, thanks to Instagram's stories feature that requires more content from my end, and some more exciting surprises that I have in store for all my regular social media followers), but I've learned a lot about my limits too, and I've learned to prioritise myself a little more. One of the things I decided to prioritize on the journey to getting healthier was my fitness. In order to feel better I knew that I needed to work on my self-esteem to and the weight I was at, was not working for me. Whether it looked like that to the outside ...
