Hi,
My son is a year old and BF and BLW. For the past 2 weeks I have been trying to settle him at a childminders. However, he screams every half an hour or so (according to the CM) until he is out of breath, is not happy and now the other children are getting clingy as well due to my son crying/screaming.
The childminder basically said that he wants me all the time because I BF him. This has convinced DH that the only way DS will settle at the CM is to wean or partially wean him. DS has never had a bottle, so I know it will not be easy to give him one. He can drink from a cup but DH thinks he needs a bottle!
I dont know what to do. I don't want to wean him, I don't see how 2 big changes in his life can hep him settle down. However DH thinks that he is screaming there because he is hungry for milk!
He does eat at the CM, sometimes a lot, sometimes a little. Im not worried about it because the amount DS eats always varies for no reason I can see. So I think its normal. CM does not think so and gets worried when he doesn't eat.
What do you think? Has anyone weaned a one yr old to get him to settle in daycare?
Thanks for reading!
