Weaning
Please don’t judge me and this might sound somehow but I am tired of breastfeeding and just want to be able to get a good sleep at night. Have been trying to wean off my little one from the boobs it has been a huge struggle, the screaming, the shouting at tears at midnight. I always give in cause I’m worried about waking up the neighbours or the noise. I really don’t know what to do , any one has an idea of any thing I can rub on my nipple maybe if will discourage him. I have tried lemon he still sucks it.

Thank you @Carina we’ve tried sleeping in separate rooms he will come looking for me or when I’m back in the room it all back to the start. I will try the mustard and vinegar I hope it really works
It’s usually harder when baby is over 18 months. You have to first distract them during the day with activities and outdoor play. Give high carb meals at night and water if they get up to feed within the night. Mum can sleep in a different room. They will cry intensely for two days and then it will subside

Mustard ! Or vinegar I heard it works. For my son I would sleep in a separate room for about 2-3 days and have my husband put him to sleep with all the crying, he would give him a bottle of milk (in the munchkin 360 because my son never used a bottle and we didn’t want to start him on a bottle and have trouble weaning that off in the future). Now he is fully weaned for almost two years but he has a habit of playing with my nipples or putting his hands on it to sleep.
