After I wean baby wants to sleep on me

[Gayu]

My DD s 11 months old... She was waking every hour for feeding and if I feed she LL sleep.. but it went for every hour every night nearly for 4 months... So I finally decide to wean her and started giving her bottle... I came to know she took comfort fed this long.... Now after I weaned she wants to sleep on me... No matter if I sit or stand or lay on bed.. she wants to b on me...

I let her cry by making my heart strong for 30 min...but she was strong n I failed ... Any help... Will she make this habit when she grows..

She just needs you right now.
If you think about it she has always had you and breast milk whenever she needed it.
Now the milk has been replaced but she still needs you for comfort.

And that's ok! It's really ok to comfort your baby as long as you are both happy with how it's working m

I can guarantee you she won't still be doing it when she's 18.
Enjoy the cuddles while you can

Will she sleep in the bed with you? Hace you got the guidelines on safe bed-sharing?

Also, could she just be hungry?

Cakey... Thanks... Sounds good... But I can't hold her for whole night for sure... I try to hold her 2 hrs after that if I drop her down she cries again.... I drop her n ll lay down beside her...

I got guidelines... I don't think she s hungry if she s she LL cry even if I hold her...

Have you tried feeding her? Will she sleep in the bed with you?

Hi Gayu,

I remember you posting before saying you want to nightwean - sounds like you’ve managed it, I’m still going so you’re making rapid progrsss. Since you’ve stopped nightfeeds over a relatively short period of time, your baby is still adjusting. If I were you I’d just continue to offer comfort for now, at least she’s not feeding so you are making progress. You’re doing well, I know you’ve had a tough time, keep going and keep doing what feels right for you and your baby.

Hi Ritualunion

I feel relaxed... Yes I keep comforting her for some more weeks n see how it goes.. I m really scared if she make it an habit as she made feeding... Thank u so much...

Breastfeeding is about much more than just food. She needed it for comfort, she still needs you the bottle won’t change that. It won’t be forever.
