s. I am still nursing my almost 3 year old ds and I am due any day now. My experience was just like yours. I started to really feel violent. So we cut back. I knew he was no where near ready to wean. He was nursing constantly 10-12 times a day and hardly eating food. When I became pg I had to stop on one side because the pain was so awful. So we have been one siding it since about 9- 10 weeks. Around April we began nightweaning. I used the Dr. Jay Gordon method (modified) and it worked. Just getting ebough sleep made everything much better. Next thing we cut out was the morning feeding. That took some time but by May it was gone around the same time he stopped falling asleep when I tried to nurse him at naptime so we cut out hat as well. When my milk supply dropped around 20-22 weeks was when any other feeding stopped. SO now here we are at 39 weeks and he is down to just bedtime for less than two minutes. No one has been traumatized and he sleeps through the night has been the whole summer. I hope this will help you. I will x post it to your threads.
