I'm hoping to make it a year, but I like setting shorter goals, so I am saying 6 months and then when we hit 6 months I'll say 9, and so on.  |
Men are weird. I honestly dont understand it because to me, my breasts are sexual for Devin and food for Orion, those things dont intermingle together. But to Devin, he just cannot seperate them. Also he has some weird images in his mind of what child developement is. He is thinking Orion is going to be talking in sentences and skipping around at 6 months (he seems to at least, because he thinks he will be so big in just a few months which he wont be) and it makes him uncomfortable. He just wants me to stop nursing and pump milk for Orion to drink, but I am nowhere near ready to give up the bonding. However we have talked about it since and as of right now wehave agreed on 9 months and then start weaning down. So slowly he seems to be coming around. The next thing to work on is nursing in public. I would always prefere to throw my nursing cover on and feed the baby then run around looking for a bathroom (yuck!). He is just so uncomfortable with it for whatever reason.
