Background: 1st baby was b/f for less than 2 weeks, it just didn't work out. 2nd baby b/f for 22 months, didn't seem so bad but got tedious near the end. Self-weaned. 3rd baby is 13 months and I've about had it, LOL!
He will take a bottle or sippy cup, but if he's really tired then forget it. This sucks because I'm going to be taking a nightclass or two this fall. His daddy's not much help so I've got to do this on my own.
2 questions: Did you feel resentment toward or about nursing as baby got older? How did you overcome those feelings of being tied down?
And two, any tips for weaning? I've tried cutting out one feeding a day and it just isn't working. He still won't even sleep through the night. Sometimes he wakes up four and five times to be nursed back to sleep. I let him cry it out, consoling him every 15 minutes or so but he howls for about 2 hours before I give in and feed him. HELP!
