End of an era! No more boobie!
By Hot Mama
Hi Mamas,
Well, today was the day!!! After 18 months , almost to the day, my little one had no boobie today!!!!! I had gradually cut everything except the 1st fed in the morning when he wakes. My husband normally brings him in to bed with us after he wakes sometime around 6am but today he woke up at 5.45 and hubby went and settled him and he slept again until 7.45am!!! Wahey, a lie in!!!
So, I went and got him and rather than take him to bed with us, we went straight down stairs and started preparing brekkie!
He did remember at one point he hadnt had any but with a little distraction we managed to get by!
Now he is in bed and my boobs feel quite liberated (they told me LOL!!!).
I feel a little sad in a way, but it was way overdue and I am looking forward to giving my boobs back to my husband, a little worn out now but still in good working condition!!!!!!! What a great present for Valentines Day!!!
Have a great weekend,
Naomi xx

Breastfeeding-in Cyprus!
By Hot Mama
Hello again Mamas!
My son is in bed and my husband is working, so I thought I would empty my mind of baby talk!!!!
Breastfeeding is a topic close to my heart, I am the 1st successful female in my family to have been able to breastfeed, which I am quietly proud of! I wanted to do it for various reasons.
1) Best start in life for the wee one!
2) Much cheaper than formula!
3) Great way of bonding with your baby...................
and the list goes on.
I set out to do it for a year and around the six month mark, I thought I would never make it!
Now my son is 17 months old and I am alas STILL BREASTFEEDING!!!!
I am now so over it, its untrue but I dont seem to be able to stop! I fear my son is addicted to my boobs! I have stopped feeding him in the night now and only do it around 4 times during the day. I have tried distraction, just saying no and trying to make myself unavailable but he totally melts down, like I am taking away his prize possesion! I feel really guilty but I feel I have done my time, he is healthy, active and intelligent and I want my boobs back!. My husband wouldnt mind a look in occasionally either, instead of just watching my son chow down every day!
I tried to ask a peadiatrician here what I should do and if they had any advice and tips and all I was given was a tin of formula. *WOW* I never thought of formula!!!! DUH!!! My son has never taken to it, I tried everything to make him drink it but he is a BOOB man through and through! He will drink regular milk a little but then immediately comes and pokes my boobs and goes "UGH"! The Dr said that Cypriot women BF for a maximum 6 weeks and said I was amazing for still doing it but this was not the answer I wanted! I have had a few strange looks from Cypriot women when BF in public and I dont feel comfortable doing it anymore, although I have always been really discreet!
Any advice out there would be GREATLY received as I would like to not be feeding by my birthday in March so iIcould possibly get blind drunk for the 1st time since July 2007!!!!!!!!! LOL
Thanks mamas xxx
