I really really want to let my daughter self wean. That's been the plan since day one. But somewhere along the way, around the time she turned 13 months she ended up sleeping with us at night. I don't know exactly how it happened, I just know we struggled from 4 months to 13 months to get her to sleep in the crib and we lost majorly. Before anyone jumps in about co sleeping, just know I hate cosleeping. I hate myself for this being where it landed after trying so hard to keep her out of our bed. But most importantly I hate how cosleeping is making me resent breastfeeding. She's almost 18 months now, and she bites,kicks, pinches the nipple she's not currently biting/nursing on, climbs all over me etc. all night long. I can't take it much longer. I get up every day hoping she'll start showing signs of self weaning but I swear she seems to nurse just as much as she did before starting solids and BLW at 6 months old. I'm fine with her nursing for comfort. I feel horrible that I can't take it at night anymore, but something has to give 😭😭

Its okay! You want your body back. Nursing is physically and sometimes emotionally draining. You gave her 18 mos. of the best possible nutrition. That is a feat. Once they start doing the baby acrobat thing, it gets old quick. Do what you've got to do and don't feel guilty. She will be fine.
mommys who co-sleep
Did you tell lo doctor you were co-sleeping? What is the response im going to get from her dr this month? She is almost 6 months and weve been co-sleeping since 4 months. She starts the night out in bed until she wakes up to eat, and then she comes into my bed.
getting no better with my daughter at night time.. she hates her cot that much.. she cries until she is sick 😣 dont know what we can do to get her to sleep in there 😭😭
is it wrong to be frustrated that my daughter acts like she can't do certain things with out my help. she plays dumb a lot and I wish I could be like no girl show what you know. she acts like she can't trace or match shapes so shes ask for "mommy finger" to help her so I barely hold her hand and she magically can do it but if I dont hold her hand she just scribbles and acts like she doesnt know
the pic is how she traces when I'm "helping her" otherwise it'll just be scribbles all over the page
shaking a baby?!
So this girl I know had a baby girl a few months before me. The baby is 8-9 months. Well she was over at my bff house and the baby was crying and she went into the room and shook her and yelled at her to go to sleep!!! My bff started yelling at her to take care of her child. She said but she needs to go to sleep I want yo watch this movie! And my bff told her to get out of the room and she put baby girl to sleep. She goes to the living room. She is not watching a movie but is ...
I hate night nursing my son. Or really nursing him in general. I kept hoping he would self wean as well and here we are with him being nearly 3 and he still loves it so much. At night I typically only let him nurse a few minutes before I kick him off due to how much it just straight up irritates me. (Don’t have the same irritation with my daughter nursing thankfully) And sometime he rolls over and just stays asleep and other times he starts crying and goes out to his dad on the couch. 🤣
