1 yr old and still cant get DS2 off boob

[Shell001]

advise please its comfort at night and naps

I fed mine until they were 2.

My ds is at nursery and 4 children out of the 12 are still breast fed at 4/5

age 2 was enough for me.

I saw someone on tv with similar problem, it was 2 yr old twins and they weren't happy to give it up, the parents made a big deal about buying nice mugs for them and that now it was time for them to drink from that. It seemed to work although the mum was crying in the bath and the dc had miserable faces about it.

I fed my dd for 21 months, I found it harder then her to finish it, we spent 3 and a half months weaning.

Really though, I think you're pushing yourself too much, it is time to wean ds.

Is it a problem that your 1-year-old is still bf? Guidelines say you should ideally bf until 2 years old.

Not sure why seashore says 'it is time to wean ds'. Do you want to?

it's fine to give comfort, don't stop for that reason!
don't underestimate the advantages of breastfeeding an older child - so handy to have that on tap whenever they need to calm down, be comforted, or whatever
also helps keep you feeling calm through toddler crises

if you want to stop because you have had enough, rather than because you THINK you ought to, try distraction or change of routine? eg if you always feed to sleep in a certain chair, change the position and just rock / cuddle to sleep instead?
but really, nature has given us this easy way to get children to calm down and have a rest....might as well use it for as long as it suits you?

do you want to wean him? WHO advises continuing until at least 2 if you're both happy with it

it's very useful IMO!!

Because it must be very tiring to feed two children so it makes sense to wean the older one, which I assume is what Shelloo1 wants to do.

I presummed that DS1 was 1 years old ?

Ah, I didn't know she was feeding two children. That's different then.

i did dr jay's night weaning at about 16 months, and carried on co sleeping , gave water instead in the night - didn't do full six hours about 3 then gradually more.

tried to wean at about 18 months but ds was not having it at all, carried on til about 22 months getting more and more tough each time (but this was still gently, gently mostly) explaining that mummy's milk has finished. lots of bribery with chocolate buttons

The way I read it there is two sons, a 1 yr old and an older one.

OP we need a longer post!

I can't imagine why you are reading it that way seashore - I can't see anything to make us think anything other than that she is feeding her ds2 who is now 1 .
Although actually it isn't necessarily any more tiring feeding 2 children than 1.

Shell - why do you want to stop comforting your ds and helping him to sleep? Surely it's great to have an easy way of doing this?

the hardest bit of bf is well behind you and now its the easiest/nicest bit - why give up now? its one of the easiest ways to calm a fractions/stroppy/tantruming toddler

Could be I've only had 4 hrs sleep because of teething baby!
