Rakhee's story - a gradual weaning journey
Manage episode 437788170 series 3494257
It’s my pleasure to be joined this week by Rakhee to talk about her gradual weaning journey with her daughter Isla.
It was lack of sleep and aversion connected to her cycle that made Rakhee consider putting in some boundaries with Isla when she was around 18 months. With the support of her husband, Sandy, she made these changes very slowly, allowing for Isla to adapt and grow as she went. Eventually they ended their breastfeeding journey this year, when Isla was 3 years old.
This story touches on post-nursery feeds, aversion, and fear or anxiety over a child’s distress.
My new book, ‘Supporting the Transition from Breastfeeding: a Guide to Weaning for Professionals, Supporters and Parents’, is out now.
You can get 10% off the book at the Jessica Kingsley press website, that's uk.jkp.com using the code MMPE10 at checkout.
