HOW?!

Following, I've been so beyond done ebf'ing my 1 year old since 2 months. She is just so attached and I feel so cruel taking it away. So I haven't worked up the courage.

Less and less over time. So each time you breastfeed, shorten the session and continue to shorten over the course of days or weeks until baby slowly doesn't cry for the breast as much.

Currently trying to wean my 18 month old as well. I quit nursing him at night cold turkey. Just refused to roll over and let him nurse. He did really well the first night, but the second night was horrible and I had to work 12 hours the next day. He does well some night and some nights he still cries. I cut him down to 2 feedings a day when I'm not at work. He has never taken a bottle, so I wasn't able to wean earlier on. He doesn't eat a variety of foods right now either, so it's a major stressor for me too. I'm afraid I'm gonna starve him, but it's time he quit nursing.

I had to cut my 1 year old off cold turkey because I needed emergency back surgery. First few days were actually harder for me than him. I was surprised how well he did because I couldn't even wean him down.

I just started pumping and giving the bottle and refused to put him back on my boob to nurse. I needed to, I couldn't take breastfeeding anymore, so one day I woke up and just started pumping. He wouldn't take a bottle, but he was okay when I took away the boob, now he loves his bottle!

My lo was almost 2 when I stopped breastfeeding because I had to get my wisdom teeth removed and couldn't breastfeed if I was put under. I just simply stopped feeding him. He cried for the first 10 mins then he was over it.

I never figured it out. I got fed up once and tried to wean for like 5 minutes.

I ended up bfing until 2.5 years because he just seemed so happy.

Following as well. My son is 18 months and it's becoming too much now. Especially since he knows how to say Boobie. Lol

Following. Same issue happening over here.

Edit: I will say though that I have been reading The No Cry Sleep Solution and it has some practical tips for the baby that nurses all night and how to stop it. I'm so damn tired that I can't put anything into play. But, it seems like it would help.
