I am 15 weeks pregnant and I am nursing my almost 3 yo dd. She is VERY attached to her num-nums. She is mostly night weaned but still nurses many times during the day. SHe also nurses to sleep. She really has a difficult time falling asleep without me nursing her. Its only happened about four times in her life and she basically just waited until exhaustion and collapsed.
I don't think I want to try tandem nursing. I just think it will be too much for me. But starting the weaning process seems impossible right now too. I suffer from hyperemesis Gravidum and am having a really difficult pregnancy so far. So I can't really distract dd from nursing since I am usually just laying on the couch. I also feel like its the only thing I can really do with her right now since I'm so sick. Playing, and going fun places are now DH's things.
Yesterday I started talking to dd about how the new baby will be nursing from mommy's num-nums too. She hated the idea and just kept shaking her head and saying no. It made me think I need to make a decision and start weaning now if thats waht I decide to do. It can't be too abrupt. I know how much she loves it and uses it as her comfort.
If anyone has any ideas of how I should begin this process I would appreciate it.
