The Weekly Dispatch Topics from this week

Hi Reader,

Yesterday in my stories, I discussed how you know you are really ready to wean (if you head over there pretty quickly after this email gets to you, they will still be up!).

And I had this DM conversation based on my story question asking if you'd be ready to wean in the next 5 months:

Can you relate?

I know I can. So many emotions and memories rushed back to me from when we were slowly inching our way to the end of our nursing journey.

Here are just some of the fears you might also be having:

• Are you afraid if you commit to a date that you are setting yourself up to feel like you’ve failed in some way if you’re still nursing by then?
• Are you afraid it will alter your relationship with your child in a negative way?
• Are you afraid life will be harder than it already is?
• Are you afraid you won’t be as important once you are no long a breastfeeding mom?
• Is being a nursing mom such a big part of your identity that you aren’t sure who you will be when it’s over?

If you have these fears, you are not alone.

Learning gentle weaning strategies doesn’t mean you have to commit to a specific weaning date.

And gentle weaning incorporates new ways to connect with your child so the love stays when the milk goes away.

It's been over a year since my last live Gentle Toddler Weaning Seminar, and I am planning to do one again next month!

I don't have the details yet, but if you want to get on the waitlist, just reply to this email and I'll send you the official sign up as soon as it's up.

I love my online courses, but there is just something special about being in a room with fellow toddler nursing moms who get it. Plus, I get to answer all your questions too!

If this email resonates with you, then the Gentle Toddler Weaning Seminar is a must attend.
