I guess she couldn't smell me so there was no reason to get up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/night-away-from-baby-before-night-weaning#post-1758719 Mon, 14 Jul 2014 21:45:48 +0000 birdofafeather 1758719@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Revel: yeah, that will probably happen, but your SO or other caregiver will figure out something that works to calm her down and get her back to bed! it's hard not knowing, but you won't have to deal with it then. :grin: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/night-away-from-baby-before-night-weaning#post-1758644 Mon, 14 Jul 2014 20:52:12 +0000 Revel 1758644@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@birdofafeather: @jetsa: Thanks! I'm sure that will work fine, and it's possible she'll night wean in the interim anyways. I'm probably more concerned that she gets upset if anyone but me goes in at night, so not sure how she'll react, but the milk cup probably isn't going to solve that problem anyways... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/night-away-from-baby-before-night-weaning#post-1758202 Mon, 14 Jul 2014 16:23:42 +0000 jetsa 1758202@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd also just leave a cup of milk. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/night-away-from-baby-before-night-weaning#post-1756220 Sun, 13 Jul 2014 22:38:07 +0000 birdofafeather 1756220@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Revel: we do almond milk, but yeah, that's exactly what i did! straw cup with almond milk replaced any nursing sessions needed. we night weaned at 12.5 months, but there were a few MOTN sessions here and there and she did milk in a cup just fine. once we night weaned, she STTN mostly, but it took her a couple months until she STTN if i wasn't there to nurse her before bedtime. now we only have a night time nursing session and if i'm not there, she sleeps fine with just a replacement of milk in a cup!</p> <p>i got a little engorged the first couple times, but now it's totally fine for me to skip a session! so freeing! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/night-away-from-baby-before-night-weaning#post-1756061 Sun, 13 Jul 2014 20:50:35 +0000 Revel 1756061@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Looking for some ideas from anyone who's been in this situation. .. my 13 month old still nurses at least once a night. We're done with bottles and I don't pump anymore. We switched straight from pumped milk bottles to straw cups of WCM at one year.</p> <p>I'll have a few occasions in the next few months where I won't be there to nurse at night, so would you just leave a straw cup of cow milk? Bring back a bottle of cow milk? Something else entirely? </p>
