Weaning help!

mommytobe87

Ok ladies so I've almost made it a whole year EBF and have loved every minute but honestly I am just about at the point of being "done."  I'm so happy I've made it so far and plan to make it to right around 1 year exactly for DS but need tips/advice on weaning.  Lately, DS has had a cold and I think is teething as well so his sleep patterns have been all messed up so over the last few weeks to month he's been waking around 4:45 wanting to eat.  He goes to bed at 7:30pm but between not feeling good, teething, etc. he's been waking a couple of times but then finally around 4:45am I end up having to nurse him back to sleep.  My fear is that we're regressing here - he used to wake at 6am to eat then would go back to bed until 7:30am.  But...I am so nervous about weaning considering this is all we have done for almost a whole YEAR!  Sooo any tips on how we go about it?? Thanks ladies
