My dd is 16mths and has been bf on demand. We have both loved this
. DD is an ivf baby and I need to return to ivf asap if we are to have a chance of a sibling. I don't have my periods back. I need to have had 2 normal cycles before I can return for my frozen embryos...they are unlikely to work...then it's about 6 mths of a job to do a 'fresh' cycle. (TMI in case anyone says are you sure you can't wait a bit longer!) I cannot feed during treatment - the drugs are not safe for bf'ing. We have to stop
I am running out of time.
At 12 mths we did nightwean but then we moved and in all the change we undid it. She copes fine when I am at wk pt though likes to pin me to the sofa when I get in So it all feels like shitty grind. We had managed a few whole days...and then she has had norovirus and so of course I fed on demand...but now she wants to do that all the time again
She is a booby monster and she wants booby at breakfast, at nap time (a timely walk in the buggy works instead), late afternoon (distraction and choc buttons help) and at bedtime and if she wakes in the night or if she has hurt herself badly. Her weight is
fine - she is a good eater - though often too full of milk for a decent breakfast. Mostly it's for comfort and security. I can distract but I cannot imagine how I get her to sleep at night without it. She has her hand down my top often.
So wise ladies how do I persuade DD to stop?
I am thinking we need to nightwean again, and I need to stop letting her doze and feed in the am and instead drag my bum out of bed.
TIA xx
