Re: I want to get serious about weaning
I read your post and it is my exact story. I am so done nursing but she is super into nursing. I was joking with my coworkers today about maybe I should put hot pepper or sour spray on my nipples so she didn't like the taste. I is suppose to work with thumb sucking, right.
Good Luck!! I am glad DH is supportive and helpful. Advertisement |

Re: I want to get serious about weaning
I'm doing the jay gordon night weaning method right now and it's going really well. I would pick one feeding to remove and work on that. Take it slow..if you try to change too much at once it might backfire on you. RIght now since I'm night weaning I don't limit day nursing at all, still nurse at naps, to sleep, etc... after we get night time down I'll work on naps or something.

Re: I want to get serious about weaning
Well I have yet again failed at weaning.
She has a cold that has got progressively worse. Yesterday she wouldn't drink from a sippy, open cup or a bottle (Basically DH tried everything) Her nose was stuffed up. He would syringe it but that made her cry and her nose got worse. We did the humidifier and lots of stuff. She drank about 12 ozs all day. She just cried till about 1 in the morning off and on. Waking up every 15 minutes, even though she had a pillow in her bed sitting her up. We just put her in our bed and she slept pretty good! Dh & decided to just breast feed her as she was miserable. I syringed her. We sat under the a makeshift tent with the humidifier and breast fed her. She drank and drank ...got her nose cleaned out... drank and drank... till she finally passed out. We just decided that it was best not to try to wean her while she was sick because she is so stuffed up she was refusing liquids. I'm secretly hoping the whole engorged and not breastfeeding thing at the very least reduced my supply. She has not yet breastfed today (it's 1 pm). I haven't offered and she hasn't asked. I'm going to try to keep the nursing to a minimuim and try again in a few weeks. (Hopefully she won't have a cold!)

Just curious why you're concerned about the amount of liquids she's drinking? She's eating lots of solids, right? I really don't keep track of how much my kids are drinking, just give them access to a sippy cup of water whenever they want it. They maybe drink 12 oz in a day? Sometimes more, sometimes less. I don't want you to be concerned about it if you don't need to be. ![]()

Re: I want to get serious about weaning
My SIL breastfed her DD until 24 months and then she put bandages over both nipples and told her, "mama has an owie and can't nurse." Her DD understood and she basically weaned then. I don't know if that will work for a 19 month old but just thought I'd throw that out. Sorry you are struggling so much.

Re: I want to get serious about weaning
My son is a few days younger than your daughter and I am also trying to wean! We can get down to once a day, but then he gets sick and wants it all the time again. So I can definitely empathize.

Re: I want to get serious about weaning

At 12 to 24 months they should drink 4 1/2 cup servings of milk a day according to my chart that the pediatrician gave me. (That's 16 ozs.) I have an ear infection. I have to be on antibiotics that I can't nurse on. (I tried to avoid the antibiotics but it got very bad. I couldn't stand without feeling dizzy.) So she has not nursed since Sunday night as I left for the doctors before she woke up Monday. She's fussy (especially at nap time!). She keeps trying to get in my shirt but I told her "they are broken and don't have no milk". I keep giving her different sippy cups. It will be for 7 days ... so I'm done! She'll be weaned and I'll be dried up!
