Elise hasn't breastfed for the past week. She was only nursing right after she woke up in the morning and right before bed at night. Since I was staying with Clark in the hospital, it seemed like a good time to wean her. I wasn't at home for her morning and evening feedings, so she got used to nursing for a really short time when she came to visit me in the hospital, and then the last few days of the hospital stay she didn't nurse at all. When I came home, she'd ask for milk at the usual times but I've just been offering her a sippy cup with cow's milk and she accepts that as a less-than-perfect replacement.
I breastfed Elise for 19 months. I'm so glad that we got to bond that way.
