I don't really want to night wean, but I wouldn't mind if she woke up less at night. Everyone keeps telling me it's my fault she still wakes up because I let her eat at night so I feel guilty about not wanting to wean. Personal anecdote? R was waking up 5+ times a night to nurse and I finally broke down and decided to listen to people telling me to night wean. So we did and it's been about 3 months. She still wakes up 5+ times a night. |

1. 21mo (19 adjusted)
2. 5am, nap time, bedtime for sure and a few times during the day. I'm trying to cut down daytime feeds. Like today he nursed at 5 and then went to daycare without nursing. It's now 5pm and he'll want to nurse when we get in the house.
3. Both of my kids were MPI, so no dairy for most of the first year. Luckily it's the age of paleo, so it wasn't that bad.
4. I am so ready. So. So. Ready. We are going to a wedding in two weeks and he'll be staying with my mom for two nights and I'm hoping we'll be done.
However, I've become so accustomed to parenting through BF, that I know it's going to shake us up quite a bit.
We'll probably end up at the beach a couple more times before temps drop, but I'm kind of ready for Fall.

However, I've become so accustomed to parenting through BF, that I know it's going to shake us up quite a bit. We've got a destination wedding at the end of September. It will be just over a week without the kids. I am mostly hoping we're done but it makes me sad at the same time. |

Lol DD was so much more verbal than he is at this point and I was 17 weeks pregnant and still having morning sickness (aka barfing all day long). It was a much easier transition. (I've already been nursing him two months longer than she did.) I'm not looking forward to the fallout, but I know we'll come out good in the end. |

tomato I'm never the only extended BFer at LLL meetings, though often they're tandem nursing. Some chapters even have toddler mom meetings! Congrats on 18 months jewel! See you in the newborn check in 😉 byjove hope you get a bit of a break once the molars are in!

She still wakes up 5+ times a night. This is my fear. She's up 2-5 times at night but goes back down easily if I feed her. |

Guys re: night weaning.. DD was waking 2-3x a night and I just slowly started taking longer to respond and listening to her cues and letting her settle herself. As we did that it gently night weaned. Honestly it was amazing. We started that around 15mo and took our time with it... She was probably night weaned by 18. And I was OK with that.
