We were down to only one nursing a day, in the mornings, and I&#8217;d been feeding him a real breakfast afterwards anyways. I just decided I was tired of having to get up at 6 AM everyday without a break. It was also starting to feel more uncomfortable. (He&#8217;s got eight teeth now and seems to be cutting more.)  He&#8217;s been eating more and more solids and he&#8217;s doing really well with the sippy cup so it seemed like a good time. <\/p>\n<p>So, one day this week I got him out of his crib, changed him and then brought him right downstairs for breakfast rather than nursing him. He did just fine. It&#8217;s been three days now and I feel good. I was glad that I made the decision without being under pressure or duress. I&#8217;m a little sad that it&#8217;s over, but overall I&#8217;ve achieved more than I thought I would in this arena. <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.iheartdavids.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/01\/img_0600-500x375.jpg\" alt=\"just born\" title=\"just born\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-1997\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.iheartdavids.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/01\/img_0600-500x375.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.iheartdavids.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/01\/img_0600-1024x768.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I decided to wean Henry this week.
