Weaning from Breastfeed

8th July 2007 is the date BabyShasha totally stopped depending on MommieSha for the 'extra security and comfort'... at age 1 year 8 months and 28 days old.

"Phew! Almost hit the mark of 2 years old!" That's how a relieved Mom like me would say.

The first night itself was full of tantrum, but surprisingly she could accept the fact that there's no more boobies for her on the second night! Instead, BabyShasha just requests to 'hold on to it' on and off to help her go to sleep.

Unfortunately, (I noticed) BabyShasha starts having nightmares in her sleep, where she would suddenly cry out loud in her sleep. Thinking that she is asking for milk, I would be getting up in the dark to make the milk for her, but return to see her dozed off again to 'postpone' her screaming after the next hour. Hhmm...

But at least the first 4-5 hours is tight sleep for her...

Sleep tight but still insufficient for me,
