I stopped BF cold turkey

My LO is 15 months and have been boobie free for 1 week and it is honestly he best thing I've done. It was 3 days of rock chest then they started to soften up. We tried the gradual weaning thing and it did not work he only nursed at night at this point and more so for comfort. When our nursing sessions went from cute and cuddly to fidgety, nipple twisting, chest slapping disaster I called it quits. He still tries to get the boob I just tell him no more milk he seems to get it.

  • Awww! My lo still nurses 3x a day(first thing n morning ,napand bedtime)unless of course he's sick or hurt then that seems to be all he wants to do.still to this day no matter what I've tried that's the ONLY way he will fall asleep

  • @taitai82 My lo was the same when ever he felt pain or sickness he would nurse constantly. But for 2-3 nights a week he would fall asleep without the boob with his dad so I took this as a sign. 
  • That's great!I literally have to sit rock and nurse at nap times I can't even lay him down or he freaks(I've tried and tried)and I've never tried cry it out w him I just can't.he's constantly had to be around us since day 1 or he screams.(he's my 3rd lo and only the first one I did cry out).
  • We've been down to one night nurse for sometime and tonight for the first time she didn't look for it! I still rocked her to sleep, but she went right from bottle to shoulder w/ no boob in between. I'm surprised but glad; been feeling it's time.
