You followed all of the steps, but your child is still losing their mind when you say 'no' to breastfeeding.
If you’re sitting there thinking, “What did I do wrong?”, this episode is for you.
Most of us come into breastfeeding with a very straightforward veiw of how it is supposed to go:
- Feed every 2-3 hours
- Offer both sides, 15 minutes on each
- Adjust frequency as they get older and more efficient
- Add in solid foods
- When you are ready to wean, drop one feed at a time until you are done.
So when real life (and a real toddler) enters the picture, it can feel confusing to say the least. Especially when the world around you continues to offer these "step-by-step, do this then that" plans for weaning they just don't seem to work.
Are you doing something wrong? Not enough connection? Too much screen time? Not holding the "loving limit" strong enough?
One plus one always equals two, so doing the plan properly should result in the weaned and happy child that was promised, right?
In this episode, I’m sharing a reframe that I hope takes some of that weight off your shoulders.
In this episode, you’ll hear:
- Why you can do everything “right” in weaning and still get an unexpected reaction
- Why the question “where did I mess up?” is the wrong one to be asking
- Why your toddler’s big reactions don’t mean you’re doing damage
- How to give yourself permission to stop being the “perfect mom” and show up as yourself
- How weaning can be a healthy separation that still keeps your connection strong
One question to take with you:
Are you expecting weaning to go the way the plan says it should? Or are you leaving room for the fact that you and your child are two real, changing humans?
