Getting a 2 yr old to sleep without breast?

[Sophie1029734]

Hi everyone, my little girl is 2 and I dont intend to stop breastfeeding yet (i know I'll probabaly get crap). Lo is happy with it and one day she will stop.
I want to go out for a night but lo wont sleep without nursing, how can I get her to sleep for partner whilst I go out?

I also dont intend on makeing her stop night sessions, but I want to he able to go out for a night with friends as I havnt done in years. How can I build up to this so when the day comes she will sleep for partner

The way to get her to sleep without breastfeeding is to get her to sleep without breastfeeding. She'll be tired, she might complain a bit, ultimately she'll go to sleep. Do it enough times and that will be her normal routine.

If you're asking how you can keep things exactly the same apart from her magically not noticing if you're not there on the odd night, there's no magic wand. She'll notice and she might be annoyed but she won't stay awake all night!

Nothing wrong with feeding at two, night feeds aren't necessary at that age in terms of stomach size etc but if it works for you, who cares?

Honestly? I would just go out and let your partner deal with it. Have you never done this in two years?
