The 17th Month Hi everyone. Connie is now 17 months. This has been a very busy month but one with little changes. One change that I have made is, I only nurse Connie when it is convenient for both of us to have her nurse. I'm not trying to wean her, I just feel that she's old enough now to want up to 20 minutes to nurse. I'll give her a cup of milk or juice to hold her off. I've decide to do this because, I've started to notice in the last couple of months that Connie always needed to nurse anytime I started playing with her brothers. It seemed like she was using nursing as a way of controlling my attention. She'll still nursing 3 or 4 times a day. But I have decided that if a start to become unhappy with the relationship that I can change it. It really surprised me how well Connie took the change. I think she understands that with was good for both of us. I still love nursing her, but it was getting to be too demanding for me to nurse her right away every time Connie wanted to nurse. Well until next month. Cathy & Connie |
