Weaning help!!
I have been breastfeeding for over 2 years and have always said I would go at my baby’s pace but i am so over it!! She still nurses probably about 10 full times in 24 hours and little comfort nurses in addition to that! I try all sorts of foods and filling meals, started introducing milk, cold chew toys for teething, almost everything! When i refuse she just cries and cries with no end in sight. I don’t like leaving her upset. I work from home and we aren’t able to get out everyday to distract her, I don’t do screen time so she looks for attention in me. We also have never used pacifiers, bottles, or sippy cups and I do not want to start now. Please send some advice! Thank you!

I’m in same boat with my 25 month old. I’ve heard the best is reading them weaning stories and books to help prepare them so they have plenty of time to adjust. I’m planning on starting night weaning first then will tackle day time but I read him the sally weans book
I went away for a weekend and left her with dad so there wasn’t an option. I got back we breastfed a little more (mostly comfort feedings) and then she was okayy.

I made my husband do all the feeds for about a week straight and then when I took back over, I made sure I wore shirts where he couldn’t access them and when he asked for the boobies, I just kept telling him they were all done. The first day was the hardest for him but I held strong and just kept telling him all done and he got it pretty quick
