So day 1 of weaning my daughter did not go well. She protested and only took a few sips from her cup (via straw) of breastmilk and clearly was not happy with that. I have been nursing her at night and in the morning. I don't nurse her to sleep, but rather before brushing her teeth, a story, then prayer followed by bedtime. I'm overly emotional as I'm pregnant again and not handling the weaning change well myself. Any weaning tips? I just want this to be as smooth as possible for everyone because my heart can't take it

. I feel a little bit like I'm rushing my sweet first baby but I do need a break and would like to give my body a break too. Also DH has always had a very strong opinion about not nursing beyond 1 year
Re: Trouble with Weaning
I will say a prayer for you both and super congrats on baby #2. We've been trying since Sept with no luck yet.
@a&lmommy My DD doesn't wake up at all during the night to nurse. She's only nursing once a day now, right before storytime and prayer then bed. But she is very addicted to that nursing session. I would give her cows milk I but she won't take it. She will only take water from a cup. Which is the whole problem. Hoping something works out so that I can wean her from that last feeding. Based on what pediatrician says I may try it on her birthday
I don't know if it's worth trying for your evening session, too. If it's more about the snuggling/comfort than the milk, it might work for you.
