Weaning

My son is getting close to 15 months old. I've cut him back on the boob so he's only getting 2 feeding during the day. Nap time and bed time.
But I don't know how to get him to sleep without the boob and he nurses randomly throughout the night. Anyone else going through this and what they did to get their babies off the boob completely.

He co-sleeps at the moment and has since he was born. I've moved a Mobile crib into our room to get him started before moving him to his own room (I'm not ready for him to leave my room yet lol) he sleeps in the crib from time to time but mainly in our bed.

I think stopping night feeding when collecting is really hard. When I stopped feeding through the night, my little one was in her room. If she cried before 4am dad went in (so she knew boob was not an option) forat few times it took ages to settle but they quickly get it. After 4am I would offer boob. Once that was fine, I cur it out conpletely and again dad went in instead of me. It is much easier if someone else settles them but if you cosleepthis makes it more difficult.

To break the boob to sleep association just decode on a method that you (and anyone else who parents or supports woth baby agree). This could be bum tapping, cuddles, stroking.... it will be hard first few days but again they will get it quickly.

Offer milk if you want but in a cup. Mine still likes milk before bed and when she wakes, again part of comfort.

Leaky nappy help

What nappies are you using to stop leaks?? We use pampers ultra dry size 5, and for the past few nights he has lashed through and we’ve had to completely change him during the night. Last night he leashed through twice!! He sleeps on his front and stays leaks through at the top of his leg where the tabs connect. Didn’t know whether to size up, he has a bit of a belly on him but he’s smack in middle of weight guidance so shouldn’t need too

Am I wrong?

I’ve been wanting to add more garden beds to my garden. Husband says “hey do you want to go to Home Depot to get that wood for the garden beds.” Cool I’m excited I’ve been wanting to get this done for awhile.

We get there and we’re picking out wood and I make 2 comments about how I don’t like how 2 pieces of wood look that he picked out. And he says if you’re going to be this picky then u can do this yourself.

I literally made 2 comments and mind you I’m the one paying for the wood.

I felt dismissed and like my opinion didn’t matter and if I wanted to have an opinion then I need to do it myself. Like what?

It was rude and not okay. Am I wrong? Am I overreacting?

He thinks it was fine that he said that.

5.30am wakeups 😫😴

My 15 week old has started waking up about 5.30am and is really hard to settle back down - it’s like he thinks it’s time to wake up for the day. He used to go to bed at 9pm and was up at 8am but now he goes to bed between 7.30-8pm as he’s knackered by then but waking up at 5.30am😴. Any advice to get him to sleep a little longer in the morning?! Even an extra hour would be lovely 🤣
