I've a 15mo DD. She's been a nursing lover since day one. Until the last few weeks... we were nursing bedtime, all she wanted night time (bed share), morning, and once or twice in the day.
The last few weeks, she's been way too busy to be bothered with the daytime feeds. She'll ask (by ask, I mean shove her little hand down my shirt
), I'll offer, she'll latch for about 2 seconds and then get distracted and hop off my lap (seriously, it is rather funny- she'll latch, see the cat, scream "kitty!!" and run away). That wasn't bothering me that much, I figured she was just a busy toddler. We still had the majority of the nursing in the nightime, anyway....
Except, tonight, she didn't want to nurse to sleep. In fact, she CRIED when I put her to breast. She sobbed, even. I had to get out of bed and walk her around the room until she was sound asleep.
This is the first time in her whole little life she hasn't nursed to sleep and I'm so torn up about it...
We didn't really have a 'plan' for weaning- I guess I was figuring I'd go CLW... is this signs of CLW that I should be respecting or is this a stage?
My DS was done nursing @ 18 mos, but he was sort of always a lazy nurser and we were down to bedtime sessions only then. I LOVE the bedtime session! Wah!

We had many, many many nights of 'boo' and only a handful not.
