stopping breast feeding at 15m and worried - tips please?

[RubbaDuckie]

Hi - im looking for tips on weening. My daughter is 15m, and i've just stopped the morning feed - with lots of distraction and the novelty of 'tea' in the morning.

I now need to face the evening feed and im not sure how to.

Last night I gave her a beaker of warm milk after bath and during her story ... then bf after. She took that very well and drank some. I'm hoping she might self-wean but is that likely!? She's independent but after her bath she is very focused on her milk and wont go to anyone else.

She has always been tricky at night - and whenever my husband has tried to put her to bed, she goes into meltdown - so im the only person who has ever done it. So not sure about leaving her with someone else - I think it would really upset her.

Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

thanks in advance

TBH this was always a much bigger deal for me than it was for dc's. I would try giving her milk during her story and then putting her down without bf. That's all I did and mine were quite happy though I'd been worried they'd be upset.

I told DD the boobies were asleep. (I decided "all gone" sounded a bit harsh). She looked a bit put out but didn't cry. I'd made up my mind that I would feed her if she got really upset.
And yes, I was more bothered than she was!
She continued to ask for another month or so but was quite happy when I said they were still asleep.

Thank-you both for reassurance that im heading down the right line. You are probably right - its probably more me than her! thanks
