You'll know a toddler is ready to be weaned....

...when she "says" she is!

I was never more relieved than when J finally weaned herself off at 16 months.

Am glad I didn't listen to CA, who kept suggesting I apply chilli or mustard to my boobs. :(

How cruel's that??

When J finally made up her mind that she was ready for her bottle, there was no fuss, no struggle.



On her first day at daycare, I packed an unused Avent bottle (hard teat and all).

She had no problem with it, even though it was her first encounter with Avent's hard teat.

I'd been meaning to give away all of Beth's milk bottles, some of which had never been used. It was the only one that could hold more than 200 ml.

CA talked me out of the idea, saying J might eventually need them.

He was right!
