Dd is still breastfed to sleep, and very occasionally if she wakes up in the night. I had hoped she?d eventually give up of her own accord ? and probably she would eventually ? but I?ve decided to stop. I want to give her some warning as her understanding is generally good, and the only approach I can think of is that a) she doesn?t need it ; b) it?s only for babies, not for big girls (which is what she often tells me she is !) and c) none of her friends are b/f any more ? My only concern is that of course she has no idea that she?s doing anything different at bedtime from everyone else in the world, and this is what she?s always been used to, so I want to let her down gently. I know she can get to sleep without the breast because she does at nursery or when granny or daddy babysit. But of course she?s never done it for me. Does anyone have any advice for me to not make my little girl feel terribly rejected / how best to prepare her / how to make the process as painless (for both of us !) as possible ? Many thanks in advance ?
