Stopping breastfeeding...

[pamplemousse]

DD is going to be 1 in 2 weeks time and I would like to stop breastfeeding her. She only bfs twice a day, first thing in the morning and last thing at night. Sometimes she doesn't want the morning one so that will be easy to get rid of, the problem is the nighttime one, its how she falls asleep and I'm not sure how she will be, she is a very determined young lady and will scream in anger for ages which isn't a great way to fall asleep in my opinion. All confused about it and wondering if anyone had any ideas or advice?

HTH, good luck!

I stopped giving DS1 a nighttime feed at about 15 months as I was pregnant with DS2 and was suprised how easy it was.

The first thing I did was to move the feed to before his bath. This was he was able to learn to go to sleep without a feed but with a tummy full of milk. The I just waited until a day when he didn't seem that interested in the feed and just stopped.
Good luck!

I put a story in between bedtime milk and putting him into bed, partly to give him time to get his wind up, but also so he stopped falling asleep on the boob.

Thanks will give it a go. Thx for article too.
