I think that will take a little longer - she still seems pretty attached..... any advice??? Oh - on a side note - I sold my ameda py.... shipped it out to the buyer... then found a sealed bag of 2 white valves. If anyone on here needs them, I'm willing to put them into an envelope and mail them to you.... just pm me!

I nursed for almost a year after I stopped pumping during the days - so you don't HAVE to wean if you don't want to. When he was about 15 months I cut him down to 3 times a day because it was just getting too much - so I offered a bottle or sippy the other times and he took it happily. Then at 18 months we went to twice and by 21 months he was done. I wasn't in a hurry - it helped me burn extra calories

He was down to 3 x's a day when he was 12 months, so I just cut out the afternoon feeding and he was totally fine with it. After about a week, I dropped the morning feeding, just put him in his chair for breakfast with milk in his sippy cup, and he was totally fine with it. Didn't phase him one bit. After about another week, I dropped the night-time feeding. I kind of went every other night, and then skipped two nights, and then we were all done! Kind of sad, but I could tell he was ready. He wasn't too interested and would only nurse for about 2 minutes on one side and then he was ready to get down and play! LOL I was really happy to make it to a year though!!

I had to put her in her room (with cosleeping, she is too close to me when she wakes in the middle of the night, and won't go back to sleep without a fight). When she wakes up at 3am, dh goes in and gets her back to sleep. She wakes again around 5:30, which is when I nurse her again. So night weaning is going pretty good. She still nurses several (4 or more) times in the evenings and mornings. Once I at home for the summer (in about 3 weeks) I will work on completely weaning.....
