Weaning starts tonight!

in Parenting after 35
I know I have been talking about it for a while but I think I am really ready to get started with weaning. No better sessions to start with than the ones in the middle of the night. It's going to be a long painful night but I am hoping there is sleep for me on the other side of this process. I haven't slept more than 4 straight hours since mid-pregnancy.

    Yikes! You haven't slept for more than 4 straight hours since pregnancy? I'd have had a nervous breakdown.  (((HUGS)))

    I hope it goes well, Laura.

    While I may complain about exhaustion (and it's a valid complaint), I haven't been able to "blame" Aaron for 10 months now--since he's STTN since he was 9 months old (95% of the time).  And he's napped pretty well for several months as well (though not these "3 hour naps" that I read about).

    I really hope Caroline doesn't put up too much of a fight.

    Good luck.  Caroline, now listen to your Auntie Bumpies.  Mommy needs to sleep all night long so she can play with you during the day without being cranky.  So you need to sleep all night long for her.  No more boobie in the middle of the night. You are too big for that.

    Good luck!  Hope it goes more smoothly than you anticipate.  We are on the second week of weaning and it hasn't been to terribly bad.

    Good luck!  I have no advice on dropping the night feeding since Ellie dropped her 3 AM feeding ages ago.  As far as weaning in general, we dropped one session a week, saving the best for last - which for us was morning.

    Oh my - I had no idea you were still getting up every night! God bless you! You need this, and so does Caroline. It'll do wonders for you both to get a full night's sleep. And good for you for BFing so long! Good luck!
