Question for my nursing mamas, how do you encourage weaning? I'm not in a huge rush but figured my lo would start on his own now that he's one but I seem to be his comfort tool for teething and he nurses to fall asleep and throughout the night so I'm basically a paci ( though he ditched wanting one of those 6 months ago) 😕 My husband says just stop but I can't do that. I've started giving him cow milk in a sippy cup but he still wants to nurse. Is there a method that works or do I just wait till he comprehends more?

@lifewithlynniejade88 I wish you luck :) I'm hoping to sleep at night again myself. I probably wouldn't worry about weaning so much if I got to sleep straight through the night (even one night a week lol). My husband said to stop nursing overnight ( because our son's Dr said it's a bad habit to break) but they don't understand that if I didn't our son would be awake screaming all night and we both work so it's just easier to nurse and let him stay asleep so that we all can sleep.
@tiinii I'm gonna try cutting down as much as possible. Most mornings he will nurse a couple mins when I'm getting up for work before he gets up. When he's up I give him breakfast and usually don't nurse again until naptime. Some days he only has one nap but it's the nights where I feel he catches up for where he misses during the day, I think it's because he's teething. Thanks for your help! :)
@elenalee I'm gonna try that! Yes being engorged is never fun. I've been trying to taper off and most days he does okay only nursing twice till evening. Thanks for your help! :)
@angelao777, lol my husband says they are his breasts and he wants them back. Haha!
I weaned both my boys just after a year. I just slowly took away one feeding every couple of days over the course of a month and when they would ask to nurse I would tell them no more mommas milk and they were a big boy now. I liked doing it slow so I wouldn’t be engorged and they wouldn’t be traumatized. I saved the night time feeding for last since it was their favorite.
I'm in the same boat too girl!! Lynnie never took a pacifier or a bottle! I'm having such a hard time weaning her, & she uses me to sleep so it's gonna be tough
@morganmommy79 I don't think they understand how hard it would be. I told my husband give up something you really love and then you'll see what the baby has to do. I got a blank stare lol
I'm in the same place. She uses me as a paci through the night and hates actual pacifiers. She only 9 months and I plan to at least hurdle a year so we're getting close. My husband says the same. 😒
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...
Does the doctor need consent from both parents to do a circumcision or just one? I don't want my boyfriend and his mother to try and do this behind my back while I'm all groggy
Trigger. Lost baby
Went in for my 20 week check up and found out our son had passed away. Nothing was wrong, my pregnancy has been going great. I'm so numb right now. I'll he delivering him later this week. I don't want to do this. I don't want to do this. Not before Christmas. How am I'm going to tell my kids?? My dear sweet baby boy. Why did this happen?
Please help!
My doctor is trying to induce me before 40 weeks because she's going to be off on my due date and says my placenta is starting to look old. How do I get labor started?? I don't want to be induced for no reason and I'm thinking I won't have a choice. Please help. What do I do to get things going?
son getting out of car seat
So a couple days ago my son started getting himself out of his car seat while we are on the road. He will be 2 years old May 27th. He pushes the chest clip all the way down and pulls his arms and shoulders out of the straps but is still buckled at the waist. Today he did it 4 times, we had to pull over every time. What do you guys do when they start doing this? My Britax came with these long rubber strap covers but I took them off a while ago when he was to small f...
Right. If I didn't nurse her back to sleep she wouldn't ever go back to sleep. Lol I'm wean her slowly I guess. I'm pregnant right now so it's taking a toll on my body
