so i had been gradually weaning maddy from nursing, and she had her last nursing session wednesday morning.
since thursday night, she has refused to let dh put her to bed, and he is the one who usually does it. she will cry & cry & cry until i come in, at which point she practically jumps into my arms, and snuggles into my shoulder. so i'll hold her for a little bit so she'll calm down, and then she resists letting me put her into the crib, but is pretty ok with it.
did anything similar happen to anyone after weaning?
i'm wondering if that is the reason for her attachment, or if it's some other phase she's going through.
Re: bf'ing weaning and attachment
Eloise has been weaned for just over a week. No changes to her bedtime routine so far, DH has been putting her to bed for months and she still likes it. But she definitely has more times where she wants mama and only mama, mostly in the morning which is when her favorite nursing session was.
this was tru too. everyone was always like "night time is hardest so save it for last" but daddy would put him to bed without issues. however, if mama wasn't there to nurse in the morning, there was hell to pay in our house! funny!
thanks, ladies. i'm pretty sure it's partly related to the weaning, and was just looking for some reassurance!
we actually dropped the morning feeding last, also!
