And the weaning begins!?!?

...and did I get a say so? NO! To begin with, I took Brianna to the doctor because she had a fever on Wednesday and broke out in a rash yesterday. We thought with the fever it was just her teeth since she has been having a really hard time with them the last few weeks. Then yesterday she broke out in a rash and today it was worse, so I called the doctor to have him take a look at it. It turns out that she has Hand, Foot & Mouth disease. So let me apologize right now if your child was around Brianna on Wednesday...I am sorry. She would of only been contagious while running a fever, which she was Wednesday morning, but not really in the afternoon and evening. Anyway, while we were there I asked him about an experiment I did on Labor Day... I decided to feed Brianna on demand instead of on schedule. The result...she only nursed twice...once first thing in the morning and then again during our bedtime routine. Right now, nursing & rocking is our bedtime routine. So I guess I need to be changing it soon because he said she is probably starting to self-wean! I knew that I would need to start weaning soon, but I thought I had a few months left! I can't believe my baby is growing so fast!
