heather adores milk. she drinks it more than water and she can gulp down three (albeit small) cups of milk in a row before bed.
though she likes cow's milk, she has always relied on nursing for comfort a lot. just until a month ago, the first thing that she did when i came home from work was to grab my legs and say "mama, milk".
it had not been easy to wean her but i'm happy to report that she has stopped nursing for nearly a week now. i tried different methods to wean her since she turned two. i did try explaining the "big children don't drink mama's milk" theory to her like what i did with rafael, but at the bottom of my heart i always thought she wouldn't listen to any reasoning. so i googled and tried doing what some mommies did, including putting on different things on my breasts to turn her off (lemon juice, toothpaste and wasabi!) and putting on a band-aid to tell her mama's nipples were hurt. she accepted all the peculiar tastes and she cried hopelessly and fiercely when mama's milk was not available. at the end of the day, i told her the big girl theory again and she listened. i guess she was just not ready when i first tried.
that was 2 years & 4 months plus 2 years & 5 months of nursing (mac, think about the money i saved for the home! we haven't bought even one can of baby formula.), i think i deserve a night-out with some nice alcoholic drinks. maybe i should even go tonight.
妹妹真是好喜歡飲牛奶，尤其臨睡前總會嚷著飲完一次又一次，就算不愛牛奶的哥哥也被她感染。
她也一直好愛喝媽媽奶，大概一個月前，我下班回家時，她還是會立即過來抱著我的腳叫"媽媽，奶奶"。
終於趕緊在她兩歲半前戒掉媽媽奶。也不是因為不好意思再餵，倒是兩個孩子加起來已餵了四年九個月，真是夠了。嗯，今日好不好去大喝一晚？
