Weaning
Hello Everyone,
I know this group is about nursing,... but i am wondering if anyone has experience with weaning. My little guy is super attached to his momma and has no real self soothing mechanism. I didn't really have to wean his brother because he self weaned without any problems. thoughts? suggestions??

@ambercaron My very stubborn daughter refuses to drink milk out of a sippy or a bottle at home! She takes bottles just fine at daycare and does BM and whole milk. I have cut the daynight nursing sessions but she still refuses any milk from any source! I am lucky she sleeps through the night and that day will come for you! April will be our month 🙂
Our stubborn babies will be amazing adults someday! 🙂 this stubborn/strong will is a great trait people keep telling me.I am just so tired, 14 months of not getting a full nights rest is starting to catch up. I am sure i will miss all of this someday and since he is my last one i will cherish all of this!
Just wanted to post a "win" so far have been able to make it through the day this week without having to pump! 🙂 still not sleeping through the night but at least this is a step in the right direction!

1 Reaction@ambercaron WIN for sure!!!! I have cut the AM nursing session this week and I took it way harder then my daughter. Hasn't seemed to faze her having a bottle from Dad with me out of sight. Makes me sad my baby is growing up! 🙁 Have had to pump again once at work to relieve and not loving washing pump parts again!
Hopefully the sleeping changes for you in the near future!

1 Reaction@ambercaron How was the month of April? Wow how is it May already! My breastfeeding with my daughter has come to an end since Easter Break. Roller coaster of emotions that's for sure! Hope your weaning has been going well.
@jostby April was good, still not weaned! Haha it is so much harder than I thought it was going to be. I am so ready to be done but my guy just isn't. It is just so much easier to nurse him to sleep than let him cry. I need to be stronger about not giving in but when you are exhausted it is just so much easier. Thanks for asking!
