I have been ready to ween Gabe for a month or two now. Unfortunately, he has not been ready. So last week I decided that I was no longer going to nurse him during the day. I have been pumping and trying to give him
breast milk in a
sippy cup. So for the last four days he has not been taking it. He just screams and
crys every time I try to give him the
sippy because he just wants to nurse. This morning I had to work for an hour and when I came home my mom said that he had finally taken the
sippy. So I just put him down for a nap and although he wasn't very happy about the
sippy he did take it and drank about two ounces. YEAH!! Hopefully eventually I will be able to substitute formula for the
breast milk and then I can stop pumping, but for now I will just be happy for that little bit of progress.

Yay! Small steps forward are better than no steps at all. And I'm sorry for your family's loss.
Have a good one hunny!
Haha so that deleted comment is from me on accident. LOL Anyway, yay for the sippy! Myelle had a bottle from the beginning since we were having such a hard time nursing that I didn't really have to go through that, but we did have a rough time of switching from a bottle to a sippy.
