My 8 mo ds seems to be losing interest in nursing. He's very distracted/busy. He LOVES eating pureed foods/finger foods. Anyone else have this? Did you end up weaning or did db return... (more)

to enjoying the boob?

no, no reason to wean. The excitement of the new foods wanes. I did, however, have to nurse in a private, quiet room from then on. 11-14-2008 11:52am
