Sounds like you've got a good plan. I'm starting to wean DD, since
she'll be one in a couple of weeks. It's not going so well :p. My boys
were happy to take a bottle, and cow's milk. DD takes a cup, but will
only have a sip or two of milk. I guess she knows she's not a calf ;)
Plus, I'm lazy, and there's nothing easier than nursing a baby to sleep.
Bad habits, I know.... You're right, they'll wean themselves eventually,
especially if you cut back on the nursing times and there's less there.
I'm a little sad, because we're not going to have any more babies, but
honestly, I'm looking forward to having my body back.
Good luck ttc. May you be blessed with a treatment free pregnancy :)
