We have tried the cuddle with a sippy thing, and that actually works most of the time, but she will just get to a point where all she wants is nursing. Generally Shaun just takes her because if she has me I think she knows it is right there. I just want to do what is best for her and I don't want it to be traumatic! I am really okay with her going for awhile longer if she does it just before bed, but I don't light being a pacifier! Ugh!Brandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09321485235628461572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8409856473949679852.post-34229486049561815382011-09-06T08:57:25.509-05:002011-09-06T08:57:25.509-05:00Could you try having a bottle/cup/whatever of milk...Could you try having a bottle/cup/whatever of milk ready in the fridge for her, and when she wants to nurse like that, offer that and lots of good snuggles? Does that count as just not letting her? I realize I'm offering suggestions as someone with no experience, so I won't be offended if you don't think it will work!Lynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07814793518858339038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8409856473949679852.post-70520073630046104822011-09-05T22:42:17.192-05:002011-09-05T22:42:17.192-05:00Awe, that's so hard.

I don't know. All of my kiddos have been sooo different. Danny self-weaned at 11 months, but he was only nursing at night at that point. Bella started wanting less and less around 9 months. Cali loved her "milky" and wouldn't give it up and so we went cold turkey around 17 months. She was already not enjoying it as much because I was pregnant... Alaina go ripped away at 6 months because I was always driving with her and had to start supplementing. We'll see with Eviana. Go with what feels natural to you. You are in my thoughts and prayers!marmestohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07250703041180287006noreply@blogger.com
