Weaning Feelings and Other Big Emotions
Elle has been weaned from breastfeeding for almost one week now. She is still a little restless at bedtime as she transitions into a new routine, but for the most part I think we've completely crossed over.

Top 10 Things I’ve Learned in 10 Years of Motherhood
