          I think parents who have more than 3 kids are super humans

            Hi all great mums out there,


            any good idea for weaning off? My gal is already 2.5 yrs but still bfg. I know she is just doing for comfort as she only wants to nurse to sleep. At other time, she won't think about it. In fact, that is also 1 way to get her to go for her afternoon nap. At night, once she is in her pj, the moment I lie down, she will come to me and ask for her comfort.

            I tried talking to her. Everytime, I talked to her and asked if she could stop nursing, she will nod her head. But every night, once she knows it is sleeping time, she will want to be nursed. Is it really must keep talking to her until she wean off herself? I don't really want her to cry to sleep, as she is last baby, both my husband and me can't help to see her cry this way.

            For my elder girl, she stopped on her own when she turned 2. Not sure if the teachers in the childcare help to talk her out.

            Need some advice and help here.. :?:

              Ds2 used to be addicted to this opium also. Ended up my hubby had to pat him to sleep so I could minimize exposure to him. Parting is sad, but he now canโ€™t recall his attachment

                She may truly not be ready. My son 2.5+yo and still nursing. But there are nights when I just tell him that it is very painful - I easily get cuts and broken skin on breast (and he knows), and he just goes to sleep with patting. I'm not exactly weaning him though, altho' it's a nice thought.

                  Is there a reason for weaning her now rather than later?

                    Just want her to don't rely on me so much. And to get better sleep (both for her and me). Sometimes I think when she nurses for so long, she is so worried that I go off and she is not sleeping properly. End up both of us are not sleeping properly. There are also some nights when she will still nurse a few times at night. Really very disturbing to our sleep. Lucky for now, husband is the one waking up to settle the 2 older kids for their school. Sometimes feel so bad that husband is doing all my work for me.

                      why do you feel guilty? And it's your husband's duty too, since he's the father. I don't see any problem in that.

                      Mine gets all the 3 older kids to school if I don't wake in time either. Oh well, the eldest walks to school herself so that's not much he needs to prepare her.

                        DS1 was 15 months old when i got pregnant with DD2.
                        I had threatened miscarriage and had to stop breastfeeding.
                        But DS1 refused to let go.
                        I put on lime and lemon juice, and that did the trick!
                        He tried to suckle initially, but after a few tries he gave up.
                        But I put him near me and snuggled him to sleep to give him the sense of security. DD2 being the youngest had the luxury to breastfeed till 3 years old. One fine day she told me \"mummy, dry up already\" and she stopped on her own accord. But of course she needed to cuddle up with me before she could fall off to sleep.
                        I really cherish those days........ :snuggles:
