My Funny and Courageous Journey to Completely Wean my Child

After three failed attempts, now I successfully wean Gaby on her 25th months.  

My journey to completely wean Gaby was hard and kinda funny. I always hear the “when are you going to stop breastfeeding, is it when your child goes to kindergarten and you two needs to get home for nursing time?” statement.  Most of the time it was pressure that attempted me to wean Gaby. Most mother thinks that when your child reaches 1 year, your nursing obligation stops there. For me this does not applies to every nursing mother. In fact it needs two people to get ready for another stage because it’s a mother and baby relationship that you cannot easily break.

 My first attempt was when I put lipstick on my nipple. Some mommies advised me to do that because it works on them, that was my first try.
