I'm so sorry! That sounds so rough. I hope your LO feels better soon and you can get him to night wean. I feel ya on that! DS is 15 months and I'm currently 9 weeks pregnant and he has been such a little boob monster! I don't think it's helping that I think my supply is dropping due to the pregnancy and I can't get him to drink cow's milk. And he's waking up almost every hour wanting to nurse (he's sleeping in our bed). I have got to night wean him / sleep train him soon b/c I can't take much more of it!

hang in there! hugs.

It's so hard! Luckily we didn't deal with the sickness that you are but at that point in pregnancy my son was nursing 6 times a day ( he was a year old then too) and I was fighting horrible morning sickness. I couldn't eat and lost a ton of weight. I know exactly what you mean about feeling depleted. We cut our nursing sessions slowly back and just recently he's gotten down to 3 times a day. I'm 25 ish weeks pregnant now and while I feel somewhat better it's still really hard. My stomach is starting to shrink with the baby pushing it up and I feel like I can never eat enough to keep up with my body's demand. I don't plan to wean though as DS doesnt seem interested so were making the best of it. I think around 13 weeks pregnant was about the time my milk changed over to more colostrom. So few people understand the demands of nursing and pregnancy and I think that makes it even harder! Hang in there and good luck!!

@Beyond2: I really hope he will just take to cows milk soon. He's willing to drink half breast milk and half whole milk from a bottle. Does your LO drink it from a bottle or sippy cup? I hate to be giving him a bottle but I guess one thing at a time. I'll have to try smoothies with him again. He drank some of my green tea frappe from Starbucks and he loved it!
