My 15 month old wakes too frequently at night to feed (2-4x) and I know it's for comfort. In a 24 hr period, she typically feeds 6-7x and its draining me out. At nnight, she sucks and sucks and i am sure my body is producing more milk as a result.
I want to stop but don't know how to go about it. Should I stop cold turkey or do it gradually? I'm so scared of engorgement and her reaction ????
I breastfeed until 14 months but I cut out night time feedings at a year because I was feeling the same way you are. I had to do sleep training to cut out the night and I did that over about a week. I did the "gentle sleep solution" approach with him in the crib and it was only a few days before he wasn't waking up looking for boob at night. <br />For the day I gradually weaned over a month. And I took away one feeding and would try to distract him or give him some other kind of snack (apples,etc). I was so worried cause he was such a boob man but he really was ok with it. It's cute, when he gets tired he still shoves his hand down my shirt :)
Holy crap, Lo went to bed at 830 last night and didn't wake up once until 1130 this morning. I kept checking on her and she was peacefully sleeping. Sorry just had to share
Ugh !! I'm trying so hard to transition lo to sippy. Today, in the afternoon, she had the biggest fit and refused to drink any milk. The dr said off the bottle by one. I am trying... Any tips??
I know there is a few doing it... I just started last week and had my first weight in today I lost 5.1 lbs!! Was wondering who else is doing it for how long and how much have you lost? Feeling motivated!!!

I just started a few weeks ago. I've lost about 2 lbs every week for about 4 weeks. I weight in at the meeting and do the monthly pass so I can use the app on the phone and its about $10/month. <br />Wish me luck, I weigh in tomorrow!! :)
my son to sleep in his crib. he use to sleep in his crib an than he started wakin up so put him n bed,with me well now I cant even get him n his crib. he has to fall asleep next layin next to me. he wont fall asleep with anybody else not even his daddy. he wakes up as im walkin to put him n his crib.i cant an wont do the CIO method. wat worked for yall.
We are in the same situation. I brought him into bed with me and now it's a fight to get him down in the crib and to stay there through the night. I resisted CIO to this point but I'm thinking that now he is a year it might be needed. I have on my to do list for tomorrow to get the Ferber book from the library. I just think its amazing that babies will just go to bed once they were "ferberized". It will be hard but I haven't heard many other ideas... Plus I want to start weaning and that will be so hard with him still waking to nurse!
Hi all. So I ebf (well he is also on solids at this point) but I still haven't got my period. Is that strange? Hubby and I are thinking about trying for number two but I don't think I'm ovulating if I don't have my period, right??
Weird so we can get pregnant? I mean I knew there was a change but thought it was just a stab in the dark, like a "I've heard it happen before" type of thing.
