My Bub (well, toddler - 19 months) is still being breastfed. Please no judgement. But she’s not fully breastfed. She’s on solid meals with snacks. But sometimes during the day, I’ll nurse her for a little bit - more so for the bonding than anything. She’s basically weaned and I can stop cold turkey if I wanted and it wouldn’t affect her. Like I said, I continue because it’s the mother-bub bond. And I did (and still do) have a hard time bonding with her for other reasons. Anyways the problem is both hubby and mother in law have stated to me that I should look at weaning her since I’m returning to work in September. However I have repeatedly told them that weaning isn’t a problem and my returning to work won’t affect it. She’ll be off the boob by the time she’s 3 at the very latest. Am I in the wrong? Am actually too naive to realise that maybe I really should stop right now?Additional: The other reason for my having a hard time to bond with her from the very beginning is because all I ever heard was people gushing over Hubby and how much she looks like him. So I’m just the one that gave birth and was forgotten about. It’s up to me to appreciate me and remind me I’m a good mother aha via /r/Parenting https://ift.tt/2KBOw1t
