dd is 16 months old she is attatched to the boobs all throughout the day and night!! i am a really skinny person and breastfeeding is not helping with gaining any weight im 23 and i weigh 90 pounds i eat three meals a day and snacks!! so its finally time to wean, i have started not giving her milk to go to sleep at night were now on night five and it has not been easy but when she wakes up two hours after she goes to sleep she demands it ive tried giving her a sippy, patting her back and/or stumic, rocking her, singing, and speaking softly to her trying to exsplain whats going on and nothing seems to work OH cannot help he works night shift so im all on my own on this so i was wondering if any of yoy ladies have any advice!!!

With my parents- my mom had dad make a bottle and take it to me at night. It wasn't what I wanted (I wasn't hungry, I wanted to comfort nurse), so I started sleeping through the night.

Do you have someone who would be willing to try that?
