We think he is weaned!

Wow who knew? Just two days of going 'cold turkey', and Micah is OK with only having his cup now! He still gets breast milk just out of a cup now.

I was trying to gradually wean him, which Micah was fighting all the way. So his daddy thought I should try 'cold turkey'. I reluctantly tried, and to my surprise I only had to endure two days of crying, fighting, and tantrums. If it were longer than that I would not have been able to take it. Weaning Micah was just as hard on me emotionally and physically. For a minute I felt like I was weaning him from me, and breaking our bond, because he would be so upset with me.

I am glad to report that he is doing fine, and still seems to love his mommy more than ever. Now I can have peace of mind while I am at school that others can feed him just fine without him being so upset.
