I'm sure similar threads have been started many times. I need to wean my BF 19mo DD. She feeds first thing in the morning, before bed (although not to sleep) and in the middle of the day before a nap a few days a week when we're at home (again, doesn't feed to sleep). She loves cows' milk and drinks from a cup. She is a very strong willed little person and knows exactly what she wants. She's a good talker and understands a lot. Don't know if this all helps or hinders the process!
We've started this morning with DH getting her up and giving her a cup of milk. She's cried a lot but has now asked for 'Mr Tumble' so is sitting cuddled next to me. I think after breakfast she'll have accepted that this morning' feed is not happening. Shall I just carry on the same for a few days until she stops asking in the mornings, or explain what's happening, or...? Night weaning, at 15 mo, was a dream. I'd been feeding loads in the night. Told her mummy's milk was sleeping because it was dark. She asked twice, suggested we put the light on a few times, then never asked again. I'm not feeling so confident about day times! Thanks for any words of wisdom/ experience. I'm quite sad about this.
