I need help!!! My daughter we will 1 on July 25, and I'm not sure how to wean her. She doesn't take bottles or pacifiers and she won't sleep without nursing. Honestly she won't do anything without nursing. She's eatting fine and she will drink water from a cup but not breast milk. I'm fine with nursing her as long as we are both happy but, I can't leave her with my husband more than 2 hours or she will have a crying fit.

I breastfed my son til he was almost 19 months. Are you wanting to wean her? If you don’t want to there’s no reason you absolutely have to stop!

I did the same as @southerngirl.89 when I night weaned my son. I only offered him the water in the 360 cup at night and within a week or so he stopped waking to nurse and was sleeping through the night. During the day I weaned by dropping one feed at a time. I think the first one I dropped was the mid afternoon feed. I would distract him when he wanted to nurse or offer him a food snack instead. That helped. Then I dropped the mid morning feed. Eventually I only would nurse him after he woke up in the morning and woke up after naps. Then I slowly dropped back to only nursing him when he woke in the morning & eventually cut that one out. It’s a process & you’ll need to find what works for your baby, but it can take a while. My gradual weaning during the day took place over 5-6 weeks.

@babylove924, you’re welcome! For some reason she’s really picky with cups and I bought that one on a whim and she actually used it. I tried to get her to use some cheaper ones and she doesn’t like them lol

I night weaned my 15 month old. She never took a bottle or pacifier, the only sippy cup she likes is the munchkin spoutless 360 cups- only that brand. So at night I fill it up with ice water and let her snack and nurse until she’s full then I lay her down. At first she would wake to nurse and I would just offer her the cup. It took a week or two but she started just getting the cup herself if she woke then going back to sleep. Now as for daytime.... were still working on that lol
