Two Year Old Nuses Through Night and I'm Exhausted

[sassysmoore]

Help! My two-year-old still nurses through the night. He has always woken up four or so times at night to nurse and I am committed to nursing him as long as he wants but I am ready to let go of the night nursing...after two years of this, it's affecting my sanity.

Can anyone help me?

Thank you so much.

I would recommend reading Dr Jay Gordon's plan for Gentle Nightweaning.

Good luck, I know how you feel!

Ditto the PP. We just did it with our 2 year old and things are waaaaay better. not perfect but much better.

Thank you.

Thank you so much mamas. Sounds like the most loving way to keep the sanity.

Just wanted to mention that right around that time (2 yrs) my DD (who nursed throughout the night until then) stopped night nursing almost completely. She nursed to sleep and then upon waking, but that was pretty much it. It was so easy to keep going because I had so much more sleep.
