Weaning Time

Since Ty turned one years old this month I decided it was time to start actively weaning him from breast milk. And thankfully so far the process has been pretty smooth.

I technically started the weaning process a few months back when we started to feed him regular solid food. He really started eating dinner with us at about ten and a half month when he started walking. We started with dinner, and then slowly added lunch also. As of today we are now down to only breast feeding before bed time and middle of the night hunger moments.

First thing in the morning we have breakfast together ... eggs, peanut butter & jelly, oatmeal ... we like to change it up each day. Then he has his big boy lunches and big boy snacks throughout the day. Then we all eat dinner together at the table.

I am very proud of him for accepting the changes so well and not being demanding and expectant of much else. I think he is rather enjoying the feeling of Independence and growth.
