Just wanted to add that when I was nursing I actually looked forward to the time that I could step a way from the hosting and holiday festivities to nurse my little ones. A little haven of peace for us both! :) Mine aren't nursing anymore, so I'll have to come up with some other excuse to disappear from the merry-making from time to time; time to tuck the little ones in and hear their prayers? sing to them? sleep in their room to keep them company? :) saw your Not-me-Monday post thru MckMama, thought I’d hop on over…

So many women walk away from holidays wondering why their baby is fussy at the breast and can't figure it out. They just so busy without realizing it! Enjoy your first major holiday!!! And good for you taking it a bit easier!!! Glad it was helpful! So many women walk away from holidays wondering why their baby is fussy at the breast and can’t figure it out.

I hadn't realized the correlation either, though I can see now why there is one. My youngest is 14 months, and after being away from her all weekend I needed to make a decision about whether or not to wean her upon my return. I decided to let her take the lead. And as soon as she saw me, it was clear she wanted to nurse. And so, we go on. She is my last baby, and I am happy to continue with this special bonding time. I know it won't be much longer. And I'm happier still to know that maybe she's getting a little something extra from me. (And, I only have one pie to make for Thanksgiving. EASY!) This is so interesting!

I hadn't even thought about this, but I can totally see how this could happen. When I am around family, I typically nurse almost as often as I do at home, but not quite as much. Thursday will be our first MAJOR holiday, so we'll see how it goes. I only make 1-2 dishes to bring and they are super easy, but I still get super stressed about it, so I will try to relax this year in hopes to avoid accidental holiday weaning! Thanks for this post!
