Weaning....

Hi All,

I have a toddler who is almost 2 and I'm expecting a baby in 3 months. My toddler is down to nursing at bedtime and first thing in the morning and then sometimes on the weekends at naptime.

I would really like to cut the morning session because I think he wakes up specifically for it and sometimes it goes on forever. I just don't want to be dealing with that plus a newborn. I know people do tandem nurse but I really don't think it's for me.

Dropping the other feeds was not a problem but he is very attached to these last two.

Thanks!

    I would drop one at a time as well. Try distracting in the morning... I did it by offering lots of other things, one at a time, until I found something he wanted more than nursing. (Which was a cookie :/) So I bought a box of small, healthyish cookies tha
