Trying to stop Breastfeeding

We used a dummy as a transition x

Following as im in the same situation

@Alice can you explain how you did this, please. I have been thinking about it but not sure how to start.

Can dad put him to bed? I go to the gym every Friday for a class and dad manages to get him down with cuddles and cup of warm oat milk. He would never go down for me like that.

Hiya lovely. I stopped when my little girl was 13 months ( she’s now 15 months ) all I did was say no boobie all gone, and ended up rocking her to sleep. She took to it well, I think she was pretty ready herself and mainly did it for comfort. I hope this helps! X

I just took the straw cup to bed with us after she’d been drinking a bit downstairs and eventually she seemed to just accept that that was all she was getting and now she’s completely forgotten the boob exists thankfully. Definitely made for a struggled bedtime but only for a few nights, luckily dad was on hand for bedtimes too if she really was loosing her shit lol. But I’m sure your lb will soon forget about the boob after a few days of not getting it :) good luck. It’s so hard though I know xx

No real advice as I'm in exactly the same boat 😑 screams like mad until I give in and she almost made herself sick last time we tried her dad putting her down. We've started having him do all of bedtime routine and I come in at the last minute in the hopes that she begins to relax with him and dozes off 😅 we've also started getting her used to the idea of 'no more' so that at some point we can say no more milk?

I’m thinking about stopping too. We’ve had a really rough couple of months with teeth and illness. Why does no one talk about stopping bf it’s all about the struggle to do it! I was lucky with my eldest he went on nursing strike just after his 1st birthday party. It was so hard at the time. Broke my heart but the transition was harder for me than him and only took a couple of days. I never got to the point of wanting to stop or figuring out how to stop. I really wish she would stop herself but she’s a booby lover. I’m here for the tips xx

I have just stopped (this past week) and we are using a dummy when our LG has been struggling or wanting to nurse paired with lots of cuddles. My husband has been dealing with the get ups during night time and I’ve made sure to change our routine (for eg not sitting in the rocking chair as that’s where we’d nurse before bed) etc and so far so good. It’s been a hard emotional week (for me) with lots of mum guilt of course, and my LG has been unsettled but I feel the last day or so we are starting to turn a corner. I initially thought I may need to spend more time apart from her so to not antagonise the situation but actually I’ve found my LG has really needed me for comfort and to stay close, which is absolutely fine by me (and what I’ve needed too). ❤️‍🩹🩷 Wishing you luck X
