Oops! I forgot to wean my 2 year old.
Everett’s 2nd birthday came and went and our nursing relationship has remained the same. He is still nursing and I am still letting him. To be honest I didn’t have plans to wean him at any certain age but it was my goal to make it to 2 with him. I wouldn’t have kept him […]
