And yet It feels like she is growing up to fast.

It was a huge source of comfort for her and part of her bedtime routine, so it was the hardest to drop. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weaning-which-session-did-you-drop-last#post-2083299 Tue, 24 Feb 2015 11:41:06 +0000 singingbee 2083299@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We dropped morning last. We got down to two sessions---morning and night. We dropped night first because she was used to nursing to sleep and we wanted to change that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weaning-which-session-did-you-drop-last#post-2083222 Tue, 24 Feb 2015 10:54:39 +0000 rattles 2083222@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We dropped bedtime last. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weaning-which-session-did-you-drop-last#post-2083204 Tue, 24 Feb 2015 10:45:34 +0000 autumn865 2083204@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When we were down to bedtime and morning I thought bedtime would be the last but for us it was actually morning. Night nursing gradually was less nursing and more cuddling and then one night all she wanted was to rest her head on my chest and fall asleep. The morning lasted because she would wake up hungry. I gave her a little nudge by having breakfast ready immediately. After that she stopped wanting the am session too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weaning-which-session-did-you-drop-last#post-2083192 Tue, 24 Feb 2015 10:38:27 +0000 Pumuckl 2083192@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I expected my son to drop the bedtime session last but he surprised me and cut that one out before he cut the morning session out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weaning-which-session-did-you-drop-last#post-2083188 Tue, 24 Feb 2015 10:35:55 +0000 birdofafeather 2083188@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did bedtime last since it was easier to distract her with breakfast and I did bedtime alone most of the time. Once I got to 14 months though, I could still be gone at bedtime and she would go to sleep easily. It was so freeing and extended our BFing journey because I didn't feel so tied down! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weaning-which-session-did-you-drop-last#post-2083126 Tue, 24 Feb 2015 10:04:08 +0000 Baby Boy Mom 2083126@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Bedtime.

I'll be SO happy if she initiates the weaning process (for real this time) on her own, but it's totally bittersweet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weaning-which-session-did-you-drop-last#post-2082905 Tue, 24 Feb 2015 07:39:35 +0000 Foodnerd81 2082905@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's 7:30 am and c hasn't really asked for her milk this morning. I'm sure she would happily take it if I offered but in just going to see how it goes if I dont. And I'm sitting her crying a little bit. But in really happy if she is the one that takes the lead and I will still nurse her at night- and really really savor it! So bittersweet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weaning-which-session-did-you-drop-last#post-2080223 Sat, 21 Feb 2015 21:15:58 +0000 Corduroy 2080223@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We dropped night time last but it was no biggie.

We didn't drop the morning one until after she turned two. She loves nursing when she is drowsy and waking up but it hurt so bad since I had so little milk and I was tired of it. She would ask for it and cry but by now she knew the concept of booby and broken so I kept telling her my boobys were broken which she seemed to understand. It's hard tho, I wish u luck and hope it isn't too bad for you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weaning-which-session-did-you-drop-last#post-2080209 Sat, 21 Feb 2015 21:09:02 +0000 Foodnerd81 2080209@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@oliviaoblivia: stop. Now I'm welling up just thinking about it! Honestly, this morning (after I slept with her in the bed in her room) she was as interested in milk as she was in breakfast. I probably could have distracted her with breakfast but I just wasn't ready! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weaning-which-session-did-you-drop-last#post-2080203 Sat, 21 Feb 2015 21:06:24 +0000 Kemma 2080203@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Miss A is still nursing at nap and bedtime and dropping her morning session was pretty easier because we just started getting out of bed rather than lounging around. I'm not sure what will happen once Squish arrives, I nurse to sleep and nap with A in the afternoon but girlfriend does love her evening "nummies" (and it might be easier for me to nurse her in the evening from a logistical point of view but we shall see!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weaning-which-session-did-you-drop-last#post-2080164 Sat, 21 Feb 2015 20:31:18 +0000 HTownMom 2080164@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm hoping it will be the morning one last. Right now DH does the bath and bedtime routine and i found that worked better to help drop the night nurse. Also if LO wakes up in the middle of the night and I go in, I have to make sure not to give in and nursr her, but just to say "it's cuddle time or back to the crib". That's the toughest part for me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weaning-which-session-did-you-drop-last#post-2080160 Sat, 21 Feb 2015 20:29:02 +0000 oliviaoblivia 2080160@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our last two sessions were in the morning. I was very aware that it was the end and was able to really savor those last feeds. Welling up a little right now. :crying: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weaning-which-session-did-you-drop-last#post-2080159 Sat, 21 Feb 2015 20:28:31 +0000 Foodnerd81 2080159@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Tidybee: I'm secretly afraid she will drop it faster than I'm ready too.<br /> She is cuddlier in the morning too, and I do feel like she gets more actual nutrition from that one. But I agree it would be much easier to distract her with breakfast. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weaning-which-session-did-you-drop-last#post-2080155 Sat, 21 Feb 2015 20:25:28 +0000 MrsStar 2080155@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Night time was the last one to bed dropped, it was a big part of her nightly routine and the cuddles were the best. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weaning-which-session-did-you-drop-last#post-2080151 Sat, 21 Feb 2015 20:23:14 +0000 Tidybee 2080151@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Morning for us as well. I started offering her a cup of milk instead of nursing and she never went back to nursing after that first day. I wasn't ready for it to happen that quickly...but apparently she was. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weaning-which-session-did-you-drop-last#post-2080129 Sat, 21 Feb 2015 20:13:13 +0000 hilsy85 2080129@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Morning! It was hard to have to adjust to getting up out of bed right when he woke up rather than having an extra 20 minutes lying down while he nursed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weaning-which-session-did-you-drop-last#post-2080126 Sat, 21 Feb 2015 20:11:20 +0000 Turd Ferguson 2080126@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We aren't quiiiiite there (down to a quick 5 minutes before each nap and then the morning and night session), but once I get the nap ones dropped, I'll be dropping the morning one, leaving the night one for last. I feel like the morning one will be way easier to distract her for (other food/drinks/toys/etc.). Plus, night cuddles are awesome. ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weaning-which-session-did-you-drop-last#post-2080117 Sat, 21 Feb 2015 20:07:55 +0000 SleepyMonkey 2080117@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Night time. I felt that it served more of a purpose and was part of a routine. The morning nurse session, not as much. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weaning-which-session-did-you-drop-last#post-2080106 Sat, 21 Feb 2015 19:59:38 +0000 Foodnerd81 2080106@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If you weaned gradually, which session was the last one to drop? We are down at wake up and bed time now, at almost 19 months. I wanted to let LO take the lead but at this point I think I may have to nudge her a little. </p> <p>On one hand, when she wakes up early it's nice to stay laying in bed and let her nurse (she's kind of slow- I get an extra half hour in bed that way), but then again, it means I can never sleep in. At night, I like knowing she fills up and isn't hungry, even if she didn't have a good dinner, and she gets so happy when she sees its time for milk. But it would be nice to be able to go out at night without worrying about that. </p> <p>I know there is no rigt answer, just curious. </p>
