Wish me luck! LO just turned 2 about a week ago.
We started nap time weaning on Friday and *knockonwood* it's been going pretty well.
Planning on weaning bedtime nursing tonight.
Will appreciate tips, good luck and courage to follow through!
Thanks!

Good luck, what an amazing run!!!

Good luck! I'm ready to do the same and would love to hear about how it goes. Sending you easy weaning thoughts!

Good luck!

Just wanted to wish you good luck!

Good luck. DH has been doing bedtime so I haven't nursed at night for 3 weeks. I put her to bed a couple of nights ago and she didn't ask to nurse. She still asks for it at naptime on the weekends and some mornings. In the morning I distract her with waffles! Haha. I can't get away from naptime yet and that's fine.

Good luck! I'm weaning my 22 month old. She's down to a brief nurse first thing in the morning and at night before bed but only needs it when I'm around. I don't offer in the morning and sometimes she skips it. Like yesterday, I offered it to her and she said no. I've been distracting her when she asks other times with snacks or a cup of milk.
My DH and I are going to away for five days without her and I think she'll be done with it when I'm back...or so I hope

good luck! we're down to 2 times a day at 15 months and i'm trying to figure out my game plan.

@skipra: Night 1 went a lot better than expected. WAY better.
I told her no "boo boo" and she cried for like a minute. I told her "we are just rocking. do you want to go in your bed" she said no, mom. So we rocked and I sang for about 8 minutes. Then she climbed off me and climbed into her bed and asked me to sit next to her. We do this regularly. I was just about getting ready to leave when I noticed she pooped!!! LOL
So I had to turn the lights back on and change her diaper. She asked for boo boo again but I said no, climb back your bed. So she did. She started getting drowsy within minutes so I got up to go out and she turned and looked at me. So I kissed her good night and she started crying. But I left. She cried for maybe a minute and stopped.
That was way too easy. I'm expecting next few nights to be harder. We started bedtime at 7:52 and I was out at 8:20. Not bad!

@locavore_mama: Wow I hope it continues to go so smoothly! You never know, she may be ready to give it up without a fight. Hoping today goes just as well! Thanks for the update.

@locavore_mama: Just did this, too!
What helped is the longer you go without the saltier the breast milk gets (don't know why) and so when I caved one day she didn't even like it!
We were down to once each evening before I shut off the faucet completely and it was totally harder on me than her
Hang in there! -
Wow, good luck!!!! Amazing job making it to two years!!!!
-
@locavore_mama: I wrote my post before I read yours and obviously should just talk to you about weaning. AAAAH. This is going to be miserable.
