Hi. I have a 2 year old who I am currentlyTRYING to start weaning from breastfeeding. This baby still nurses alot...I work full time, so as soon as I get home, she's ready to nurse, and pretty much nurses the entire rest of the evening, including at night time. We co-sleep, and have done so since she was born. It has been such a great experience for us as a family to nurse/co-sleep but at 2, I really believe she is ready to go on her own.
The problem is, she is an extremely light sleeper. I mean, this little girl will feel me moving to get up and go to the bathroom, and she starts crying for me. Anything..if I move her down in the bed a little, she wakes and wants to nurse. If I am sleeping and she isn't touching my arm/shirt, she wakes. I don't know what to do! It's been 2 long years that I've longed for a long, good night sleep. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to start this weaning process without having completely sleepless nights?!
