My son is 3.5. He nurses as often as his 15 month old sister. Which is a lot. He would nurse all night if he could, but we nightweaned him a few months ago. He still battles it every night. he just gives in quicker now.
I didn't post this in the CLW forum because I would love to wean him completely, but how? I have been tandem nursing for 15 months and I didn't like it from the start, now I am really fed up with it. I feel terrible because I know how you shouldn't nurse unless you are totally for it, etc. because it will confuse them. But I honestly don't know how to go about it.
My son is strong-willed to say the least. From day one he has been high needs. And nursing is very important to him. He sees me nursing his sister and that is all he wants. I have tried distraction, time-limits, postponing... I have read "How Weaning Happens". I just cannot see an end. Right now I am just hoping bribery will work in the near future...I keep hinting with the idea that four-year-olds don't need milk and maybe he will be done when he turns four?
Please don't flame me. My body is really telling me I need to stop nursing both. I feel like a horrible mom already anyway.
