Our sweet Norah has been done nursing now for a few weeks. :( All the other kids finished around 14 months but she did it in less than 13. With all of them I started gradually weening them after their first birthday, but she was just so fast! It's bittersweet. She was just so good at putting herself to bed without nursing anymore it seemed pointless to try and keep her doing it just for my sake. Admittedly it is easier now for Gaetan when I'm not home because she doesn't need it, so that's a bonus, but I will always miss that special time, just me and the babes. However, since she has stopped nursing she has been sleeping through the night... she doesn't even wake up and put herself back to sleep... just straight through. Before she would wake up and put herself back to sleep after a few minutes but that of course would wake me up! But she usually sleeps in til about 8... sometimes 9 if the crazies aren't too loud. And, she is super easy to put to sleep. You just get her in her jammies kiss her good night and in the bed she goes. No crying. No fussing. Just silent. It's awesome! Dude was the same way... and it helps this Momma's heart knowing that they were definitely ready to be done! I just cleaned out all the milk from the freezer I had pumped for Norah which was also a little bittersweet. She's just growing up so dang fast! But, it's good for the both of us... on to our next adventure and milestone!
