Hi Ali, yes, going back to university on the first of april, and I'm kinda worried that the perpertual tiredness and hormone fog will affect my work. Also I really want my body back (I would really like to get drunk and eat cheese!). I feel so torn because these are selfish reasons. I had one year in my head because I thought that was the WHO recommendations, now I find that its 2 years. I'm really lucky that F has no teeth yet because that would probably be the decider.
I've been doing the don't offer/don't offer method and we are down to around 3 feeds a day now, the day feed is sometimes split over 2 occasions, so I feel like he is weaning himself, maybe I should see how that goes. He seems to be gettng ill again today which also makes me think how useful it is to still be BFing. I've looked into weaning without dairy and I think it is possible with fortified ricemilk and plenty of tinned fish, almonds, tahini and other things that we eat a lot of anyway, although I will talk to my dr.
Basically my selfish half is doing battle with my guilt-racked half. How likely is it that he will wean himself with gentle encouragement?
