I feel so sad. Today no pumping, did you go through this?

It is sad when your child weans. It's the end of an era, and a sign that he's growing up (sort of,he's only one!) He will probably continue the morning and night feeds for quite awhile, as long as you are still happy nursing him then don't rush him to fully wean. My son quit on me cold turkey at 9 months, he was always fussy nurser, and once he got a bottle that was it, he never looked back. It hurt like heck!!

Breast milk is soooo important for developement, so even if he will not nurse with you, continue to pump so that you can feed your own milk to him in bottles or sippy cups. Your breast milk, believe it or not, changes as your child gets older (it has to do with hormones I guess) to ensure that your child is getting the appropriate nutrition from you. It is normal and completely healthy to continue giving him your own milk up to age 3, 4, 5, and even 6. People get really controversial about it, but its healthy, its a normal part of life, and your breast milk even changes over this period of time to suit your childs needs. so even if he will not nurse, you should still try to feed it to him any other way that you can. Formula is a last resort , and I hope you will not have to go there, but you do what you can to raise your child :)

It's totally common for babies over a year to start self weaning. It's part of the process and yes, for some moms, it's a bit sad.

Have you been to the website called kellymoms.com? It has really good resources and tips for helping moms cope or extend their nursing. Try visiting there.
