done nursing/卒乳

I was thinking about stopping breastfeeding before the U.S. trip. However, someone told me that it helps to nurse a little one when the airplane is taking off and landing due to the changes in air pressure. So, I kept nursing until the trip was over. The first night after the trip, she was so tired that she fell asleep without nursing. I thought this was a good chance, and I wanted to see how she would do on the second night. She didn't have any problems at all! Some moms complain that when they stop nursing their kids wake up so many times at night. However, it was much easier for us than I expected. I assume that it wasn't too hard for her since she likes to suck her thumb when she goes to sleep. Now we have to make sure that she gets enough calcium through dairy products.

アメリカ旅行の前に卒乳をしようと思っていました。しかし、気圧の変化で飛行機の離着陸には授乳をした方がいいと聞いたので、旅行が終わるまで授乳を続けました。旅行後の最初の夜、娘はあまりにも疲れていたせいか授乳なしで寝てしまいました。これはいいチャンスだと思い、２日目の夜はどうなるか様子を見てみました。全く問題なかったのです！お母さん達の中には、授乳を止めると子どもが夜中に何度も起きるという人もいます。しかし、私たちにとっては思った以上に簡単でした。娘は寝る時に指をしゃぶるのが好きなので、それで難しくなかったのだと思います。これからは娘が乳製品で十分なカルシウムを摂るように、気をつけなければいけません。
