When I weaned Genevieve it was because of too many cases of mastitis--I couldn't take it anymore! I didn't think she was ready, but she actually did really well with the bottle much to my surprise. Very sad though (for me). <br /><br />I hope you feel better soon!!Christinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12798282017391489597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4889285100215644787.post-85099738346986713312011-01-01T12:56:32.418-06:002011-01-01T12:56:32.418-06:00Hello Jen I am so sorry that you are going through...Hello Jen I am so sorry that you are going through. Remember God is in control and still in the healing business. My wife had swollen ankles after a year so I know your situation well. She has a mommy blog as well and a new book one of the bonus books is on baby weaning. You guys should connect her name is Jean<br />http://www.mybabysleepsatnight.com<br />I actually think she is running a contest for a free copy with the 6 bonus books<br /><br />Take it easy,<br />AdamAdam Burnshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05791386299436769559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4889285100215644787.post-4737537516973628472010-12-31T19:15:50.511-06:002010-12-31T19:15:50.511-06:00Due to my PCOS, I can't nurse much longer than...Due to my PCOS, I can't nurse much longer than 4 months, and I have to say, it is incredibly sad and painful each time... (I'm now nursing #7), but in my case, I feel like a good portion of the sadness is caused by hormonal changes which heals itself in a few days for me after the weaning is through. I also have to tell myself how very thankful I am that there is such good nutrition available for these sweet babies as they go to bottle! i hope the Lord encourages your heart at this time!brookebrownellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01055109774211953471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4889285100215644787.post-44943647549557422572010-12-31T10:05:41.063-06:002010-12-31T10:05:41.063-06:00I am so sorry.

This is so normal to feel this loss so hard. <br /><br />I hope the meds work and I am so sorry you are hurting physically and emotionally.

I nursed my son until he was 14 months old and giving up that bonding timing and the one tool I had to calm him down after getting worked up was so hard on me! And then add to it the pain of stopping, yikes! My biggest advice to you is to remember that your precious baby needs you healthy, needs Mommy and so this may be the time God has chosen for you to try something new. Find another way to bond and still have that precious time together. <br /><br />On another note, my Dad battled RA as well. I don't know what he all did other than knowing they chose a natural approach with him and a year later no trace of RA at all for him! Praise God! I would be happy to find out what they did for him for you.Missyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05117827182359875125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4889285100215644787.post-85423434521339021522010-12-30T22:49:22.058-06:002010-12-30T22:49:22.058-06:00I haven't....I can't biologically have chi...I haven't....I can't biologically have children even embryo, but the mommy in me hurts for you.

But I think you have the right idea about doing what is best for your health, you wanna be the healthiest mama possible for for baby bakers and all the rest of your kiddos.<br /><br />Have you taken any fancy/sentimental nursing pictures yet? If not, take some before Sunday. You can also give your baby her bottle while providing lots of skin to skin contact and that will help maintain the physical bond there. As for her health, I have read that the antibodies a baby gets in the first six months of breastfeeding are all they can really need from a that standpoint. <br /><br />Hugs to you and prayers for strength.Z is for Ramblehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03161067436062839486noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4889285100215644787.post-47952831775783512802010-12-30T21:03:25.820-06:002010-12-30T21:03:25.820-06:00My heart goes out to you!

My feet, hips, shoulders and major muscles are in pain most of the time. I was given an NSAID as you probably were, but the side effects are too great for me to bear. I am going to see an alternative Dr after the holidays in an effort to deal with this without medications that will kill my liver and kidneys. I feel your pain and frustration. Though I am not nursing a baby, I am no longer able to run and play with my kids. I have been told that because I tested positive for strep a few months ago and because of the severly stressful year that we have gone through, the RA might go away in a few years. I can only pray. Our bodies revolt in strange ways at times. I will pray for you that you can find relief from the pain and swelling.<br /><br />Blessings! <br /><br />CybilCybilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14085832611503464757noreply@blogger.com
