Weaning breastfeeding at 15 months

[Mererid27]

Looking for advice to wean off breastfeeding!! My son is 15 months and I have been struggling for months to wean him off the boob- particularly because I work full time and we would like to have another baby.
I absolutely love breastfeeding and will
be heartbroken when it ends, but logistically it has run its course.
my baby co-sleeps and spends the entire night latched on intermittently, then cries if my nipple falls out of his mouth and I have to readjust. He isn’t really content without the nipple in his mouth.
if I try to deny him the boob, he becomes inconsolable- day or night.
people talk about dropping a feed but I feel this isn’t applicable to us because there is no set pattern or routine to feeding.
he has never accepted a bottle with milk or formula, but he has a healthy appetite and eats really well.
if I am at work, he is completely fine and doesn’t seem to miss the milk, however if I’m around he wants to feed 24/7.

any tips would be so welcomed!! I’m terrified that the only option is to leave him become extremely upset for a prolonged time until he forgets about the boob.

It’s not what you want to hear, but it’s much easier to night wean closer to two when the understanding is slightly better. it’s helpful and easier on your all if your child understands ‘boobies gone to sleep. Boobies in morning’ or whatever language you use.

Also- you should start by reducing the length of feeds, not dropping feeds.

dr jay Gordon has a guidebook for gentle night weaning when co sleeping. It can be done from 12 months but older is better
