Weaning

Do not wean me too quickly ,
Please go easy on me ;
I am still too fragile ,
To handle sudden withdrawal ;
I love our time together ,
I love all the cuddles and laughter ,
I love the warmth of your nearness ,
I love your milky smell ,
I melt at the sight of your smile ,
Each feeding session brings me so much joy ,
Which my heart enjoys ,
It calms me down , eases my pain ,
It's my greatest solace ;
Do not wean me abruptly - it will hurt ,
I will be full of tears and fears ,
Do not wean me too quickly , Anisha
I need you at my breasts !

  1. Hi Manju, I have also gone through infertility. It took 4 long and heartbreaking years including 4 iuis and 4 ivf cycles. Along with the support of dear friends and hospital staff, your blog kept me.going. I had two miscarriages during these years. You won't believe it ...My second miscarriage coincided with.your loss.of.twins. When I had the second loss I stopped following your blog. You were pregnant with twins and in my state of mind it was impossible to share your joy. Months later out of.curiosity I accessed your blog.thinking you may have already.given birth to them. I was shocked.to hear about your loss. And then on the day you announced your.pregnancy on the blog I was also pregnant ...exactly the same nUMBER Of weeks and days!!! Advaith was born just three days after Anisha. I only believed that I could have a healthy baby when I read about Anisha's arrival and it gave me the confidence to approach labor and delivery. I have been tracking her.progress.since then. We seem to have some karmic connection even though you don't know me. CONGRATULATIONS ON MOTHERHOOD AND THANKS.FOR SHARING YOUR STORY. All my love and blessings for your family.

    1. Thanks a ton Rohini for the blessings !

      There is a lot of similarities between us. It's something amazing that we get connected to a person whom we never met. My hearty wishes to you too , and lots love and blessings to Advaith. I wish we could meet sometime. When I hear that my blog has helped many to carry on their journey , I feel humbled. And more importantly , when people reach out to me and leave such kind words , I feel thankful to everything and everyone who made my blog happen. Sorry , I was not aware of your comment as I have not set moderation for comments in this blog.
