@brownski Welllllll... I got Covid. So I was isolated, trying not to share my germs for a couple of days. Which probably helped.
When she asked after, I just told her she was too big now, and asked her if she wanted a snuggle instead?She always said yes, and we'd just snuggle until she bounced off.
She asked a few times afterward, but always at times she was used to there being boob. (Pick up from daycare, etc.) It's like she was just testing to see if boob was ever available, and it wasn't even upset when denied. More just... running an experiment.
She was already pretty big. YMMV, but it turned out to be wayyyy less of an ordeal than I thought it was going to be.
You got this!
