Stopping BF at night - advice welcomed! - Page 19

Mizze · Mar 19th, 2012, 03:59 AM

Thats really good! And good news on clearing the blockage.

After 3 good nights we had a crap one last night - Ive given up on working out whether she is teething or not - everytime I think she is its something else -we havent had a tooth through in over 2 months now and its POSSIBLE that was responsible for last night but there is nothing showing in her mouth that I can see.

Still feeling rough - I think I might have reached my limits with this last illness but the thought of the 3 night meltdown to get her not feeding at night does NOT appeal

It might not go as badly as you think. I was expecting Maria to have meltdowns for a few nights but she was fine.

Thanks!

Havent posted as I caught Caitlyn's stomach bug from last week and have been poorly. Thank god for Grandmas!

Caitlyn slept through from 8pm till 5.30am last night -

im so pleased about that. I think all the fresh air helped but thats twice now in the last month she has gone 9hrs so im hoping that she will gradually start to sleep more herself. When she woke she demanded a feed and fed for nearly an hour though!

Thats a brilliant sleep!! Fresh air really does help.

2 good nights recently - but she still insists on feeding before bed and gets narky if Im slow!

Ah well

DH and I are discussing taking her off totally - im not sure myself but I am ready to stop now.

We've been having bad nights, she keeps having to come into bed with me part way through the night as she won't settle and last night she needed a night feed. And of course I'm not BF anymore so had to give her a bottle - luckily she doesn't need it warmed up or anything so not too much more effort.

Natsku - how is Maria at teh moment

We have been having some bad nights - Also due to some other external pressures I think we will end BF completely within a couple of weeks. C will NOT like this at all but there are various reasons why it needs to be done. I am hoping this will (after the shock) have a positive effect on her sleeping

Will post about it again when we do it.

Good luck ending it, hope it goes smoothly.

Maria has been sleeping terribly

one night recently she slept through but apart from that she's been waking loads and needing to come into bed with me half way through the night. And she's been having a night feed again some nights *sigh* I think I just need to ride it out as our lives have been turned upside down lately so thats probably confused and upset her.

Hi ladies,

I finally started night weaning. LO has not had a feed from bedtime until mornin for 3 nights now but stil wakes up to be rocked back to sleep by OH.

Is this normal? When wil she start sleeping longer stretches, at the moment shes stil gettin up alot in the night xx

Mizze · Apr 7th, 2012, 05:00 AM

Hi Ladies - Sept that sounds normal - and good!

We will be taking C totally off the boob next weekend - long story short she has been teething and now refuses her cot totally, screams if DH tries to comfort her at all at night and will only sleep with me touching her and is comfort feeding roughtly 8 times a night!!

I am beyond tired - yesterday the family grouped together and gave me a day off and my god I needed it. I had several hours on my own but im not able to sleep in the day but I managed to rest thank goodness. Slightly better night last night so I feel human again.

Next week I am hoping this tooth will finally be through - its given her a nasty temp and really thrown her sideways in the last week - and we can move to totally weaning her - she will be 15 months then

to you all - Natsku you and Maria especially xxx
