I have been trying to wean the Missus for a little while now and have been making a small amount of progress. I have her down to 3 breast feeding a day; one when she gets up, one before afternoon nap and one before bed time. The rest of the day I am trying to get her to drink homo milk from a sippie cup. We realized last week that she will actually drink more of it when it is warmed up for her (which makes sense).
She still wants to be breastfed all of the time though and comes up to me saying "mamama bobobo" which I think is "mommy I want boobie"...we have always referred to breastfeeding as them wanting boobie...I know, kind of silly.
Part of me feels bad about denying her when it seems like she is begging me, but on the other hand, she is almost 13 months old and never took a bottle or formula. So, I do think I deserve a bit more freedom since I have been tied to feeding her every few hours for over a year now.
I breastfed Love Bug until he was 9 months old, but he weaned really nicely once we found a formula that he liked.
Mommy-guilt...the worst!

Oh, I know...the Mommy guilt mixed with the hormones, it is the worst!
I remember those feelings when the bunny was 13 months.
You just have to do what is right for you and try to stay strong.
You have done such an awesome job--13 months is a long time! You have provided her with such goodness and love. If you feel the time is right to move on from that, then the time is right. It is hard, but she will get used to it!
