I’ve been weaning Ellie this past month, from three nursing sessions a day to none. It has been a really easy process, mostly we’ve had this conversation several times.
Ellie: Milk?
Kristie: You want to drink some milk? Sure, let’s go get your cup of milk.
Ellie: No. Momma Milk. (While nodding–she answers her own requests in the affirmative–and doing the sign language for “milk”, which really means “nurse” to her)
Kristie: Oh. No honey, Momma doesn’t have any more milk. (which I think is true)
Ellie: Buy more.
Kristie: I did buy you more milk, it’s in your yellow cup in the fridge.
Ellie: (goes to the fridge, opens it herself, gets out her yellow cup and starts guzzling away)
