Wee Beastie is crying, Husband is soothing her, but I do not want to go in there. At the moment she's been feeding 3-4x a night :eek: obviously it is just comfort feeding but I want it to stop, but as soon as she realises I'm there she agitates for boob and it is easier to latch her on than try to distract/stop her. Short of sleeping on the sofa till she realises there's nothing doing, how can I wean an almost 15 month old stubborn monster off millions of night feeds?
(and millions of day feeds?)
Sounds like a case of some tough love coming up.
I watched a Supernanny about this, think the mum just had to ignore the crying for a couple of days. Think you'll need some advice from others who've been through it. :A Too many children, too little time!!!

My lil bro is in India. He arrived Wednesday and has so far visited a home for blind kids and went into the mountains to help with volunteer work. He's a wee star.
So, Cristmas lady *looks at SS* ideas for my lil bro? Chef, works hard, plays hard and has a soft as butter heart? Likes his travelling every second year.
I think he would appreciate a donation type gift? And a little something or other.0 -
Yayy for washing machines (impressed at diy skills) and bedrooms (impressed at amount of work done).

Aren't Carpet Right having a birthday sale, but then they always have a sale! :cool:Too many children, too little time!!!

I think the key is here hun. It is easier at that moment but in the long term she has established a dependency that really isn't needed.
Do you sleep naked? Start sleeping in a top for a while. Tough it out. It will be MUCH better in 3 days of consistent trying, I promise!!!
At the moment she has no hope of learning to sleep through, you need to help her to learn what she is capable of xxxxplease listen to MFD - she is a wise woman
