I did decide to nightwean. From 12 am to 7 am no milk. The first night she was upset about it, but seemed to understand when I told her that the milk is sleeping and will wake up when it's light outside. She did cry every time she woke,...

DD is 14 months and I am so over it! I'm bone tired from nursing 6+ times a night over 8 hours. I'm tired of the sheer intensity with which she demands to nurse. I'm tired of the pinching and squirming. I'm tired of her not eating solids...
