In serious need of help!

My daughter is about to be 18 months old and while I don’t necessarily feel completely done breastfeeding, an opportunity has arose for me to go back to school at night and I really need her weened. I need to know how to ween her the fastest way possible without causing trauma 😭 I have until the end of January to not only ween her but get her comfortable with going to sleep for other people She has been nursed to sleep for most of her life because quite frankly it’s just been the easiest thing. If I don’t nurse her and try to just put her in her crib she just screams and screams. We’ve tried before and it lasted HOURS. She’s incredibly stubborn I need some ideas because I really have no idea how to do it 🥲 her father is on board but he cannot be here every single bedtime as he has work some nights.

Oh also to add she does not take a bottle or a pacifier

following.

She doesn’t need to wean to sleep. It’s not that fast of a switch anyway, meaning weaning needs to be slow and gentle to achieve what you’re asking for. Leave the house one night and have dad try. They need to find a method that works for her like they would with any other toddler. It’ll be traumatic for her to be weaned by the end of January. She isn’t ready

@Monét I was afraid of that😭 I know I’m being selfish here but I’ve stayed home for 2 years now and I want to go to school sooooo bad and I won’t have another opportunity for a few years. I never wanted to EBF but she stopped taking a bottle at 2 months old

She’ll adjust! Trust me. It’ll be hard for her at first, but not that hard. Don’t ask, don’t refuse. But also, she will be ok without you. I stayed home for almost 3 and breastfed the whole way and then went back to school. It’ll feel so good. The guilt will just float away~~~ lol
