Hello! I have a 15 month old who I still breastfeed in the morning before nursery, then evenings/ nights. I feel our BF needs to come to an end, but don’t know how 🫣 I also feel like she wakes due to habit now so we still have at least 2 wakes every night. Any tips mamas?

Girl same, really trying to wean mine off been mentally trying for months, i nurse her to sleep and rocking is effort 🤣 i stop sometimes and tell her boobies bye bye and she gets it but like this heat wave made me cave and give up rocking! So hard!! I did get mine babies bottles which shes never used before and do her warm milk before sleeps, and just try rocking her down when shes super tired and often in the hall or another room, its tough, i think they’re just gonna protest 😅

I been slowly trying. My baby likes to be caressed, rocked, patted, soft touches to face, soft blanket, and is given a teddy. Nursing is about warmth and ccomfort so its trying to nurture by doing other things. I play soft music, spray lavendar.
Another tip is to feed heavier snack before bedtime so the food sits on her stomach and she doesnt wake much. I have tried puree with baby cereal mixed in, protein yogurt, peanut butter toast, avocado slices, anything that will take a while to digest.

I stopped nursing at 14 months, what worked for us was dropping one session at a time. And replacing morning and before bed session with reg cows milk

Take the morning feed away for a week or two push for a larger solid feeding at night then cut the bedtime feed. Having the big solid feeding is going to be what keeps them asleep
