I weaned LO two weeks ago at 17 months. Neither of us were ready for it, but I had to do it to start fertility treatments.

LO has been SO upset, scratching at my chest, crying for "more" etc, but it's getting worse not better. Her naps (I suspect she's actually going through the 18 month sleep regression too, sob) have gone to pieces and she is inconsolable. To add to it, she can now climb out of both the pack and play she naps in during the week where we nanny, and her crib, so she just can't calm down enough to lie down and try to sleep. I think I'm going to put a sleep sack on her for naps to try and combat the climbing but even so, she gets hysterical with crying for boob. My milk has dried up now but yesterday I let her suckle anyway and she calmed down within a second, so I'm sure boob is what she wants. I feel so horrendously guilty, but I am having cycle monitoring at a fertility clinic and for the first time since A was born, this cycle is looking great. The doctor has told me even letting her suckle will interfere with my hormones, which could be the reason why even though my folli and lining are both looking great, my LH hasn't surged yet. So I just can't let her suckle.

What can I do to make it easier for her? She isn't interested in a lovey, but seems to like to sleep with her straw cup of water. I would love, love, LOVE any advice. Thanks so much!
