Weaning

Well I am going to start weaning Ethan from breastfeeding and onto formula. It makes me so sad to do it, I almost feel like less of a mum (a good one anyways) for doing it. Ethan just isn't as interested during the day because the world is too exciting, there is so much for his little eyes to take in.



I have finally caved and bought his first tin of formula, and I am a little disappointed because he won't need me as much and I hate that. I love the fact that my beautiful little boy depends on me but its time to cut the cord and start to wean, very slowly. I am only going to start him off on one bottle for the first few weeks and slowly phase it out. I will keep his morning and night feed until he is 1 and then go from there.



Hopefully he is good with weaning and it isn't too hard (although I think it will be harder for me to give up than for him)
