My ds is 14 months and sleeps next to me in our bed. I want to stop bfing at night. The reasons are:
-I am pregnant, 3.5 months, and would like to get some full nights sleep before the baby comes in April
-It is painful and I am not able to sleep through it anymore
-He is mostly just latching on a sucking only a little, but any time I try to unlatch him he latched on tighter
-He eats a lot of food during the day and only nurses 3-4 times during the bay, mostly before naps and bed.
-He just got his first back tooth, maybe a molar, andd I don't want to him to have dental issues that can be blamed on nursing at night.(ds1 has cavities that are, according to his dentist, "because I bfed at night" I don't buy it 100% to be sure)
So how do I go about weaning at night? With ds1 my milk ran out and he eventually figured it out and just stopped on his own when he was about 20 months and I was about 5 or 6 months pregnant. I really do not want to lose my milk again with this pregnancy, would like to nurse ds until at least 2. Any thoughts, advice, tips, or methods to try?
TIA!!
