Weaning 21 month old bed-sharer

Any tips please? He is such a boob monster and especially at night! I’m pregnant and I need to get more sleep, so at 4am when ds wouldnt stop nursing, yet it wasnt putting him to sleep either, enough was enough and dh took him while I went to the guest bedroom to try for some sleep. Poor dh has been handling ds crying hysterically for 3 hours so far.
Is it just bad like this the first night? We day-weaned pretty good until he caught a stomach bug last week and dh & i agreed he could have whatever milk he wanted to get over that.
I’d be more ok with daytime nursing than night because i just really need to sleep. Even for falling asleep i would be ok but it just doesnt stop. I have even been considering the benefits of tandem nursing but at least while my pregnant body is needing sleep I just need it less frequent for now. Plus my nipples are very sensitive already. Im trying peppermint tea to lessen my milk production. Any other tips are appreciated!

 

Oh wow, that sounds like a huge relief! I would love nursing just to get him to sleep! My husband has another month of military orders coming up in a few weeks so we better handle this now or that month i’m going to go crazy!!
I’ll let ya know how this week goes for us. Fx it’s as you have experienced. Thanks! Hugs back!

How are you feeling?

 

Thanks for the encouragement! Better i do this now than after the baby arrives. I feel like that wouldn't be fair.

I can’t believe how quickly your pregnancy has gone! I feel like you just got that bfp!!
